Abstract

The paper discusses “vagueness” as one of the characteristic features of the diplomatic language which successfully meets the demands of its implication. The prudent application of this “tricky” phenomenon is revealed in public speeches and diplomatic documents, such as the UN General Assembly resolutions, UN Security Council Press Releases, etc. The paper also focuses on certain methods of identification and teaching of this linguistic tool.
