Abstract

Amidst the heat of conflicts, violence, wars, boycotts, sanctions, and deadly armed conflicts, such crises have led to the destruction of human lives and genocide, resulting from an imbalance of interests and the selfishness of those in power who employ coercion with no regard for suffering and loss of people’s lives. When the incidents escalate and become so protracted that there is no way to stop or calm them down, the author realized that the effectiveness of language use for resultative negotiation in diplomacy plays a vital role in creating understanding and serving as a refuge to reduce such conflicts and violence.

Moreover, distinction, higher linguistic marking and restriction. Consequently, language is significant to diplomatic profession.
