metadata.value: The article is devoted to analysis of the techniques and practices of speech expression in
  Arab diplomatic communication through the example of speeches made by Arab diplomatic
  corps representatives and politicians at various UN venues. Original texts of speeches made
  by Permanent Representatives of Arab countries at the UN concerning the situation in the
  Middle East were chosen as the material for the study. The time frame covers the period
  from 2011 to 2018. The UN’s multimedia resources are one of the largest platforms for diplomatic
  dialogue open to the general public. Due to the intensification of relations between
  Russia and the Arab countries, it is necessary to identify the specifics of Arab diplomatic
  communication, as the speaker’s statements are not intended to express his or her own attitude
  and assessment, but the attitude of the state he or she represents. When analyzing the
  texts of speeches by diplomatic corps representatives in general, we observed the interpenetration
  and mutual influence of several types of language styles, which depend on the specifics
  of the issue under discussion: officialese style, inherent in diplomatic correspondence,
  and publicistic, which is found in public speeches. The intermingling of styles undoubtedly
  affects both the lexical and syntactic weight of the texts in a statement. In turn, Arab speakers
  cannot remain emotionally indifferent to the problems of their region due to the difficult
  political situation in the Middle East. For this reason, we noted not only a regular deviation
  from diplomatic speech standards, primarily the abundance of emotionally evaluative vocabulary
  in the texts of their speeches, but also special strategies for constructing texts that
  help to have a certain effect directed at listeners and opponents — expression. Among the
  most commonly used methods of speech expression, we have identified repetition, cohesion,
  convergence and the effect of defeated expectancy. By means of analysis of expressive
  syntaxes we studied the specifics of the use of these methods of speech expression at the level of usual-clichéd Arabic text and highlighted the specifics of tapping this speech strategy
  in the language of Arabic diplomacy.
