ASSESSING THE LINGUISTIC AND POLTICAL IMPLICATIONS OF GLOBAL ENGLISH IN DIPLOMATIC COMMUNICATION

Аннотация

 This study investigates the growing dominance of English as a global 
lingua franca and its far-reaching implications for international diplomatic communication. 
As English becomes the default working language in many international organizations, 
multilateral negotiations, and diplomatic dialogues, its influence extends beyond mere 
convenience—it shapes power relations, accessibility, and representation in global affairs. 
Special attention is given to how English shapes rhetorical style, politeness strategies, and 
negotiation outcomes, and how it interacts with culture-specific norms of communication. 
The study also explores potential linguistic bias in decision-making processes, especially 
for diplomats from countries where English is not an official or dominant language. 
By analyzing the advantages and challenges posed by the global use of English in 
diplomacy, the research aims to provide recommendations for more inclusive and 
linguistically sensitive practices in international relations. It contributes to the growing 
conversation on language, equity, and power in global governance.
