Abstract

The article provides a critical analysis of diplomatic discourse as a form of institutional communication in which language operates as a strategic resource of power. Drawing on approaches from discourse analysis, pragmatics, and political linguistics, the study examines mechanisms such as framing, presupposition, modality, and lexical choice. It demonstrates how these linguistic tools shape international narratives, legitimize political actions, and construct asymmetrical power relations.
