THE ROLE OF DIPLOMATIC TERMS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF POLITICAL AND INTERNATIONAL DISCOURSE

This article examines the constitutive role of diplomatic terminology in shaping political and international discourse. Drawing on critical discourse analysis (CDA), speech act theory, and frame analysis, it argues that diplomatic language is not merely a neutral medium of communication but an active instrument of power, persuasion, and ideological construction. Through analysis of key terms such as sovereignty, multilateralism, normalization, engagement, and strategic ambiguity, the study demonstrates how lexical choices in diplomatic contexts frame conflicts, legitimize policies, and construct collective identities. The article further explores how the institutionalization of specific terminological registers within bodies such as the United Nations, the European Union, and bilateral treaty frameworks consolidates particular world-views while marginalizing alternatives. The findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between language and power in international affairs.
