The aim of this article is to study and analyze the linguistic features of business correspondence from stylistic, lexical and grammatical perspectives.
Each field of life and activity has certain linguistic features that can make it stand out and at the same time differ from others.
Currently, business occupies its unique place in public life, and it is notable that the representatives of the sector carry out their activities thanks to the use of special tools, including certain professional skills as well as business vocabulary.
In today's technology-rich era, written communication has become the main means of business communication.
It is important to note that a document of any nature with a precise structure and competent content is one of the most important components of business communication.
