DIALOGISM AND MEANS OF REFORMULATION IN PUBLIC DIPLOMATIC DISCOURSE FOLLOWING CRISIS SITUATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to find out the essence of the discursive moment (understood as an act or an event having a strong social echo which gives rise to a massive amount of texts in the international sphere and in the press space) which was created by the Syrian crisis from August-September 2013 in the Romanian public diplomacy. To this purpose, we will use and analyse a heterogeneous corpus of texts belonging to different genres (press releases, interviews, public discourses) and we will outline the specialized expressions referring to international conflicts (recorded by the documents of international law) and the glosses of these expressions in order to depict the rhetoric and discursive manner in which they are used in these genres. We will also focus on the linguistic markers of the speakers taking part in the three-sided communication situation: the specialized discourse of International Law – mediation text – large audience. Another aim will be the manner in which the texts of international law are used (throughout quotation, allusions and also the adherence of the discourse to the legal articles).
