Summary/Abstract: The article is a reconnaissance in the area of complex issues of diplomacy language, a preliminary study and identification of issues for more detailed research from the linguistic perspective. The scientific exploration of the diplomatic language seems to be a promising theoretical-methodological and research (analytical) undertaking. It is a specialized code with a large background of tradition, used by a group that is very sensitive to the form of the created text, aware of the performativity of the utterance and the sense of responsibility for the effects and consequences of their linguistic activity. Modern anthropological linguistics – those branches that accept the over-disciplinarity of research into a complex object (this is important, because the description of the language of diplomacy cannot be limited to the linguistic aspect only) – provide research tools capable of reaching the essence of the language of diplomacy.
