metadata.value: Politeness is an integral part of any communication — it acts as a regulator of
  the communicative process in different spheres of human activity. This category is
  particularly significant in the official communication, where careful selection of language
  means is necessary. The actual study of politeness in the official and business
  communication styles is presented in a contrastive aspect, comparing national-cultural
  peculiarities of politeness in different countries. Therefore, the novelty of this
  article lies in the comparative analysis of business letters in German and Russian and
  in the study of the means of politeness expression in separate communicative blocks
  as well. This study is structured considering modern trends in the development of
  conventional norms of official communication, the processes of their personalization,
  democratization, dialogization and individualization. The textbooks on business correspondence
  published in Germany and Russia are used as material. In addition, this
  article uses contextual and semantic analysis. The authors for the first time resort to
  the method of rubricating business letters into communicative blocks, identifying verbal
  means of politeness expression. As a result, differences between the analyzed types
  of German and Russian business letters were identified not only in the manifestation
  of the above-mentioned trends, but also in the representation of politeness expression
  in each of the communicative blocks. The results reveal socio-cultural specificity of
  these texts in German and Russian correspondence, which allows us to use them in
  teaching native and foreign language for business communication, as well as in the
  process of teaching translation.
