The aim of communication - to reach agreement between two contracting parties.
These parties may be:
- the state and the citizen, or citizen and citizen;
-a society and its members;
-two or more enterprises or bodies;
-two or more governments;
- a person in authority and a subordinate ;
- a board or presidium and an assembly or general meeting, etc.
-Legal documents: military documents, diplomatic documents. The documents use set expressions inherited from early Victorian period. This vocabulary is conservative.
Legal documents contain a large proportion of formal and archaic words used in their dictionary meaning. In diplomatic and legal documents many words have Latin and French origin. There are a lot of abbreviations and conventional symbols. The most noticeable feature of grammar is the compositional pattern. Every document has its own stereotyped form. The form itself is informative and tells you with what kind of letter we deal with.
Business letters contain: heading, addressing, salutation, the opening, the body, the closing, complimentary clause, the signature. Syntactical features of business letters are - the predominance of extended simple and complex sentences, wide use of participial constructions, homogeneous members. Morphological peculiarities are passive constructions, they make the letters impersonal..
A feature common to all varieties—the use of abbreviations, conventional symbols and contractions.
!!! Abbreviations are particularly abundant in military documents.!!!
Another feature of the style - the use of words in their logical dictionary meaning.
In contrast to the belles-lettres style, there is no room for contextual meanings or for any kind of simultaneous realization of two meanings
Words with emotive meaning are not to be found in the style of official documents either.
