CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OFFICIAL BUSINESS STYLE IN MODERN ENGLISH

Abstract

This paper presents characteristics of the official business style in modern English. In connection with the great changes taking place in the economy of our country in the modern era and the process of integration into the world market where international communication is conducted in English, there is a necessary need to train specialist personnel who have mastered business English at a high level.

The official business style is a functional style of the modern English literary language that is used to create various documents, legal acts, and in official communication between citizens, organizations, and social groups. The official business style is characterized by the presence of special business standards that are used to create documents such as applications, business letters, protocols, reports, certificates, powers of attorney, contracts, and more. The official-business style of speech performs informative and persuasive functions, which consist of reporting on the state of affairs, stating facts, or giving instructions for performing certain actions.
