Abstract:
This article is devoted to the analysis of the economics of speech and logical consistency problems in
diplomatic relations. It is discussed that the content of a diplomatic speech should be short and to the point, but
that logical consistency can be compromised in the process. The research uses linguistic analysis and comparative
methods to analyze the main problems encountered in diplomatic speeches and their solutions. The article gives
practical recommendations for observing the principles of speech economy, optimizing information and
maintaining logical consistency. The results of this study will be important for improving communication not only
in diplomatic activities but also in other fields.

Introduction:
Diplomatic relations have historically
been an integral part of the progress of society.
Interstate dialogue and international relations are
conducted mainly through diplomatic speeches. The
originality of a diplomatic speech is manifested in its
depth in content and at the same time brevity. A special
place in this process is occupied by the economy of
speech, that is, the skill of expressing the maximum
content with a minimum word. However, ensuring
logical consistency in such discourses is an important
factor that determines the effectiveness and
comprehensibility of the communication. However, in
most cases, these two principles can conflict with each
other. It is with these problems that the article aims to
analyze and offer practical solutions.
To ensure the effectiveness of diplomatic speech, it
must have contextual coherence. It is important that
every word and phrase be used in its proper place and
in its proper sense. Therefore, finding a balance
between the economics of speech and logical
consistency is one of the most pressing issues in
diplomatic activity. The speech economy is achieved
mainly through the reduction and systematization of
information. The goal of the speaker in this process is
not only to convey the necessary information to the
listener, but to present it in such a way that it
eliminates any abstraction. But in this place there is a
danger of the breakdown of the logical chain, the loss
of meaningful connections. Therefore, these issues are
analyzed in depth in the article. [1]
Linguistically speaking, diplomatic speech has complex
semantic and pragmatic features. Among them, it is
considered important not only to briefly and accurately
state the information, but also to reflect the moral and
cultural position of the subject. Diplomats must
organize dialogue effectively, often while maintaining a
level of uncertainty and probability. The decisive role in
this is played by their linguistic competence, that is,
their skills in mastering language tools. Therefore, the
question of the economics of speech deserves to be
investigated not only as a pragmatic requirement but
also as a linguistic problem. This article aims to explore
exactly such complex issues and offer practical
recommendations for solving them.
The economics of speech and ensuring logical
consistency is not limited to the linguistic aspect alone.
These principles require consideration of both
psychological and sociological factors. The diplomat's
speaking style, tone of voice, div movements, and
even breaks all affect the effectiveness of
communication. In addition, intercultural differences
play an important role in international relations, which
require special attention when forming speech.
Therefore, the article covers not only linguistic and

diplomatic principles, but also psychological and
sociocultural approaches.
The relevance of this paper stems from the complexity
of the issues of speech economics and logical
consistency in modern diplomatic processes. In today's
era of globalization, dialogue between states must be
fast, effective and accurate. In this context, the
linguistic and pragmatic analysis of diplomatic speech
serves to strengthen interstate relations and solve
problems. This article aims to explore the main
problems encountered in these processes and to
develop science-based recommendations to solve
them.
METHODS
To analyze the economics of speech and logical
consistency in diplomatic speeches, the study used
linguistic and pragmatic approaches. Through these
approaches, the principles of ensuring brevity and clear
consistent content of speech were analyzed in depth.
Initially, criteria for selecting diplomatic speeches were
developed, in which they were distinguished according
to the historical, cultural and political context. The
selected
speeches
consist
of
speeches
by
contemporary and historical diplomats, each with its
own economic and logical characteristics. As a method,
linguistic analysis, semantic comparison and contextual
analysis methods were used together. However,
sociocultural aspects were taken into account to assess
the impact of the audience and speech on
communication from a pragmatic point of view. Each
method's contribution to the study was considered
separately.
One of the main methods used for the study was
linguistic analysis, which helped analyze the content
structure of speech. Thanks to this method, the main
sentence structures, lexical units and grammatical
forms of speeches were studied. It became clear how
the principle of the speech economy was followed in
the statements of the diplomats. In the process of
linguistic analysis, the principles of brevity and clarity of
sentences were evaluated. In particular, how complex
sentences are expressed in short and simple forms was
studied. At the same time, the correlation between the
semantic completeness and logical consistency of
speech was analyzed. In the process, it was taken into
account what meanings could be lost or preserved in
the process of abridgement of speech.
At the second stage of the study, a pragmatic analysis
was carried out, by which the effect of speech on the
audience was studied. The speeches of diplomats were
judged not only in terms of language, but also in terms
of how intelligible and effective they are for the
listener. To this end, the text of speeches was
contextually analyzed, determining the place and
significance of each sentence in the context. Pragmatic
analysis was carried out taking into account also the
cultural and psychological characteristics of the
trainee. Especially in international relations, the
influence of intercultural differences on speech has
been observed. At this stage, non-verbal elements of
diplomats, such as tone of voice, div language, and
breaks, were also analyzed. As a result of these
approaches, factors have been identified that provide a
balance between the economics of speech and logical
consistency. [2]
The study also used a comparative analysis method and
compared contemporary and historical diplomatic
speeches. Thanks to this method, there has been a
change in speech strategies used in different periods.
For example, the specificity of the speeches of 19th-
century diplomats and the differences between the
speeches of today's diplomats were analyzed. In the
process, approaches to the economics of speech were
compared in speeches of different periods. At the same
time, similarities and differences between diplomatic
speeches of different countries were studied. This
comparative analysis showed how speech strategies
have evolved in the context of international relations.
In the process of analyzing speeches, the method of
semantic comparison was used, in which speeches
were compared with each other in terms of content.
Through this approach, the ability to convey the
meaning of speeches was assessed. In semantic
comparison, the degree of brevity of speech and
methods of ensuring clear content were studied. This
method made it possible to analyze the ability of
diplomats to express complex content in a concise and
understandable form. As a result of semantic
comparison, the effectiveness of economic speech was
determined and it became known which tools are more
used in ensuring logical consistency. At the same time,
proposals were developed for solving semantic
problems.
Contextual analysis method was also used as the main
method throughout the study. This method aims to
explore the social, cultural, and political context of
diplomatic discourse. Through contextual analysis, the
relevance and effectiveness of speeches to the
audience is determined. For this purpose, speeches of
diplomats from different countries were selected and
their significance in international relations was studied.
Contextual analysis has shown the importance of
considering the needs of the audience and cross-
cultural differences. Through this method, the
economics of speech and the impact of logical
consistency on diplomatic dialogue were assessed.

In order to re-examine the results of analytical
research, a sociocultural approach was also used. This
method aims to study the cultural and social aspects of
the speech of diplomats. Sociocultural analysis has
helped to understand elements of diplomats in speech,
such as their style of communication and tone of voice.
Through this approach, diplomatic speeches were
analyzed in the context of cross-cultural differences. At
the same time, styles of cultural adaptation were
observed in the speech of diplomats. As a result, the
economics of speech in international relations and the
aspects of logical consistency related to culture have
been identified. [3]
In order to confirm the results of the study, statistical
methods were also used. Measurements were made on
the economical and logical consistency of speeches.
During this process, the frequency of use of words and
the length of sentences were studied. On this basis, it
was possible to assess the effectiveness of economic
discourse. Statistics showed which language tools were
most used to make diplomatic speeches cost-effective
and consistent. Based on this data, the reliability and
relevance of the research results was increased.
RESULTS
The results of the study confirmed the importance of
speech economics and logical consistency in diplomatic
speeches. Based on linguistic analysis, it has been
found that when speeches are concise, meaningful and
concise, their effectiveness increases. In most of the
speeches examined, short sentences were prioritized,
allowing the message to be conveyed quickly and
accurately to the audience. The basic lexical units in
speeches were chosen in accordance with the purpose
of the speech, which conveyed perfectly accurate
information by omitting redundant words. During the
analysis, it was noted that long and complex sentences
are likely to cause misunderstanding and confusion in
the audience. Also, when economic speech gained
logical consistency, the diplomats' statements instilled
more confidence among the audience. Linguistically,
short and simple expressions have been proven to be
conducive to conveying complex content. At the same
time, it was found that the effectiveness of
communication can decrease as a result of a violation
of logical consistency. The importance of using
synonyms and simple vocabulary in ensuring the
economy of speech was noted. These results showed a
strong link between language and diplomatic speech.
[4]
The results of the pragmatic analysis showed that
speech is an important factor in increasing the
effectiveness of communication with the audience. The
speeches of diplomats were judged not only in terms of
content, but also in terms of their ability to meet the
needs of the listener. Throughout the study, it was
observed that short and meaningful speeches were
better received by the audience. Speeches that took
into account the culture and needs of the audience
were much more effective in communication. Also,
listeners understood the content better in cases where
the speech was shortened but logically consistent was
maintained. During the pragmatic analysis, it was noted
that non-verbal elements such as diplomats' div
language and intonation were important in improving
speech effectiveness. The effects of techniques such as
breaks and accents on the audience were also studied.
There was an ineffectiveness of speeches that did not
meet the needs of the audience or were excessively
prolonged. At the same time, pragmatically flexible
speeches have been found to help people achieve
greater success in international relations.
The results of the comparative analysis showed
differences between historical and contemporary
diplomatic speeches. Whereas the speeches of 19th-
century diplomats were more formal and lengthy,
modern speeches were dominated by simpler and clear
styles. Historical speeches were often overly detailed,
making them difficult for listeners. Modern diplomats,
on the other hand, have increased the effectiveness of
communication by making speeches short but
meaningful. When the speeches of different countries
were compared, it was found that the principles of
economic discourse are increasingly being used in
global
diplomacy.
Despite
the
cross-cultural
differences, common economic styles have boosted
trust among diplomats. It was also observed that the
influence of globalization increased in contemporary
discourses when national cultural elements prevailed in
historical speeches. These results showed that modern
diplomatic dialogue has become more universal.
The results of semantic analysis revealed the
relationship between lexical units and content in
speeches. The level of conveyance of the meanings of
words and phrases used by diplomats has been found
to be high. During the study, it was noted that
synonyms and antonyms play a large role in conveying
complex content in an abbreviated form. It has also
been observed that lexical compounds that are
frequently found in diplomatic speeches have
contributed to the speech economy. It has been found
that maintaining semantic balance is a key factor in
ensuring logical consistency. However, it has been
observed that semantic spaces or misused expressions
may lead to misunderstandings among the audience.
Diplomats were better able to attract the attention of
the audience if the content of the speech had semantic
completeness, despite the fact that it was short. The

results
of
semantic
analysis
confirmed
the
effectiveness of expressing complex meanings in
simple words.
The results of the contextual analysis revealed the
cultural and political significance of speech. When
diplomats' speeches were culturally flexible, the
effectiveness of communication was high. It was
observed that the speaking styles used by diplomats of
different countries varied in accordance with
contextual differences. For example, speeches that
were not culturally sensitive led to misunderstandings
in communication. Contextual analysis showed the
ability of diplomats to take into account the cultural
and social needs of their listeners. At the same time,
how the political environment influences the
economics of speech and logical coherence has been
studied. For example, in times of crisis, it has been
found that brevity and clarity have been the priority.
Contextual analysis provided a broader understanding
of the specifics of international diplomatic dialogue.
The results of the sociocultural analysis revealed the
degree of cultural flexibility in the speeches of the
diplomats. Speeches that took into account cross-
cultural differences had a positive impact on diplomatic
relations. It was also observed that culturally
incompatible
speeches
created
barriers
to
communication. When diplomatic speeches are
adapted to the culture for international audiences,
their effectiveness has increased significantly. The
results of the sociocultural analysis confirmed the
importance of cultural elements in the speech style and
content of diplomats. At the same time, cultural
flexibility in speeches has served to ensure the stability
of international relations. These results showed the
need to take into account the cultural elements in the
economics of speech and the need to ensure logical
consistency.
The results of statistical analysis confirmed the
reliability of the study results. Measurements of the
economics of speech have shown that diplomats use
short, straightforward styles. During the analysis, the
efficiency of conveying complex content in a shorter
format
was
proved
statistically
significantly.
Measurements of the frequency of use of words and
the length of sentences confirmed the importance of
brevity and consistency in diplomatic speeches.
However, the statistics revealed a correlation between
the brevity of the speeches and the impact on the
audience. These results confirmed the economics of
speech and the advantage of using statistical
approaches to provide logical consistency. [5]
DISCUSSION
The results of the study show the importance of the
economics of speech and logical consistency in
diplomatic speeches in improving the effectiveness of
communication. Short and meaningful speeches have
been proven to be an effective way to capture the
attention of your audience. In cases where the
economics of speech were not followed, it was
observed that the audience felt confused and
confused. And logical consistency was identified as the
key factor for delivering complex content simply and
clearly. These results also showed the need for
diplomats to develop effective communication skills in
complex political and cultural contexts. It was noted
that the economy of speech is important not only to
save time, but also not to lose meaning. It was
emphasized that these principles can be applied not
only in diplomatic speeches, but also in everyday
dialogue. The results showed that diplomats can play a
significant role in increasing their resilience to different
cultural and social circumstances. Since these principles
can also be applied in the learning process, they are
useful for enhancing learning effectiveness. Therefore,
more attention should be paid to the issues of speech
economics and logical consistency.
The discussion of the results of pragmatic analysis
confirms the importance of diplomats' ability to
understand the needs of audiences in communication.
The brevity and simplicity of the speeches helped the
audience understand the content better. It was noted
that the speeches, taking into account the cultural and
social needs of the audience, improved the quality of
communication. At the same time, it has been
observed that excessive and long speeches often
reduce the effectiveness of communication. This
situation indicates that it is difficult for the audience to
distinguish the important aspects of speech. Also,
pragmatically flexible speeches have been effective in
engaging audiences in the process of communication.
These results can serve as an important resource for
diplomats in developing practical recommendations.
The results of the pragmatic analysis also showed the
need to strengthen the role of div language and
intonation
in
communication.
Diplomats
are
encouraged to take advantage of training in developing
speeches tailored to the needs of the audience, while
maintaining the speech economy. This method
becomes even more relevant for successful dialogue in
international relations. [6]
The results of the comparative analysis revealed
important differences between historical and
contemporary discourse. Whereas historical diplomats
preferred longer and more complex styles, modern
diplomats focused on short and clear speeches. This
change can be attributed to the needs of the audience
and the development of communication technologies.

There has also been an increase in adaptability to the
global context in contemporary discourse. The primacy
of national cultural elements in historical discourses
has in many cases led to misunderstanding in
audiences. Modern diplomats, on the other hand, have
increased efficiency by tailoring speech to a global
audience.
These
developments
indicate
that
international diplomatic relations are becoming more
universal. These results also showed that modern
diplomats require enhanced skills in cross-cultural
communication. Combining historical experience and
current trends can play an important role in increasing
the effectiveness of communication.
The results of semantic analysis revealed the
relationship between the content of speech and lexical
units. It was observed that the skillful use of synonyms
and antonyms helped to convey complex content in a
simpler way. Also, speeches that are semantically rich
and logically consistent are easily perceived by the
audience. And semantic ambiguities were observed to
confuse the audience. The economics of speech and
the need for a careful selection of certain lexical units
to ensure logical coherence have been identified. This
aspect helps to minimize ambiguity and logical
interruptions in the speech of diplomats. These
principles can be applied not only in diplomatic
communication but also in other types of
communication. Semantic analysis confirmed the
importance of explaining complex meanings in simple
terms in order to improve the effectiveness of
communication. Simplicity and clarity of the content of
diplomatic speeches can serve to strengthen
international cooperation. This, in turn, will create the
basis of reliable dialogue in international diplomacy.
The results of the contextual analysis shed light on the
issue of the cultural and political flexibility of speech. It
was noted that culturally adapted speeches by
diplomats have boosted confidence in international
dialogue. On the other hand, speeches that do not
adapt to the culture have been found to cause
misunderstandings
and
contradictions
in
communication. Speeches that were structured to fit
contextual differences were effective and well received
by the audience. At the same time, political and
economic contexts also had a significant impact on the
content and style of speech. In times of political crisis,
short and clear speeches have served as an important
tool for diplomats. Contextual analysis suggests that
diplomats are important in developing new approaches
to developing skills in international relations. It is also
recommended that diplomats take into account the
subtleties of different cultures when preparing
speeches. This approach becomes relevant not only for
diplomats, but also for representatives of other
industries. [7]
Sociocultural analysis confirmed the need for diplomats
to increase cultural flexibility in international dialogue.
It was observed that speeches composed taking into
account cultural differences helped to develop
diplomatic ties. This has shown the need to strengthen
the intercultural communication skills of diplomats.
Speeches that lack cultural flexibility, on the other
hand, have often caused misunderstandings. These
results revealed the importance of culture in ensuring
the stability of international relations. It was found that
diplomats should consider adaptation to global
audiences while respecting national cultures when
composing speeches. Also, culturally appropriate
speeches
increase the
chances
of
effective
communication with the audience. Sociocultural
aspects have been proven to be the key to effective
dialogue in international diplomacy. This approach can
serve to strengthen peace and cooperation in
international politics. [8]
The results of statistical analysis proved with
quantitative data the importance of speech economics
and logical consistency. It was noted that when
speeches were effective in terms of brevity and
content, the audience's attention was more engaged.
The results of the statistical analysis clearly showed
how each element of speech affected the audience. It
can serve as an important resource for diplomats to
prepare their speeches more thoughtfully. It was also
noted that speeches that did not fit the audience often
reduced the effectiveness of communication. Statistical
data is useful to ensure that results are scientifically
substantiated. Therefore, diplomats should also take
into account statistical data when composing speeches.
This method has practical value in increasing the
effectiveness of communication in complex situations.
The results of statistical analysis can also help improve
the quality of decisions made in communication. And
this is one of the main factors for the success of
international dialogue. [9]
The results of this study could be useful not only for
diplomats, but also for professionals working in other
fields. The economics of speech and logical consistency
issues are also relevant in business, education,
healthcare, and other fields. These principles can be
applied in organizations to improve the effectiveness of
internal and external communications. The results of
the study also revealed the importance of innovative
technologies in improving the effectiveness of
communication. However, the results showed the need
for representatives from different sectors to consider
cultural and political aspects. This approach will be
important in setting practical directions for enhancing
global cooperation. Organizing training on improving

the effectiveness of communication will be useful in
applying these principles to real life. The results of the
research formed the basis for continuing research
activities in the field of international dialogue. It is
therefore argued that the prospects for further study
of this topic are very high.
CONCLUSION
The results of this study showed that the economics of
speech is important for diplomats in improving the
effectiveness of international dialogue. Composing
speech in a concise, concise and logical consistency not
only improves the quality of communication but also
helps to capture the attention of your audience. At the
same time, meaningful and concise speech will make it
possible to build mutual trust in international
cooperation.
The fact that diplomats should take into account the
cultural characteristics of the dialogue when
composing speeches was noted as an important aspect
throughout the study. Each culture has its own unique
rules of communication and ethical standards, and
taking these into account plays a major role in the
success of global communication. This method helps to
eliminate inaccuracies in communication.
Making a speech based on statistics is especially
important for diplomats. Speeches presented on the
basis of facts and figures increase credibility and
generate interest in the audience regarding the topic.
Therefore, diplomats should focus on presenting
statistics in an accurate and accurate way. [10]
The importance of the principle of flexibility in speech
structure was also highlighted in the study. Speeches
tailored for different audiences greatly increase the
effectiveness of communication. This method can be
widely used not only in international dialogue, but also
in business and education.
The impact of technology on the effectiveness of
communication was noted separately. The use of
modern information and communication means is an
important tool in making speech more expressive. At
the same time, when using digital tools, it is necessary
to
pay
attention
to
their
suitability
and
comprehensibility for the audience.
The results of the study showed that one of the most
important factors in the dialogue is the setting of a clear
goal and strategy. Clearly defining the goal and
developing appropriate strategies before the speech is
necessary to engage the audience and convey the
information effectively.
To succeed in international dialogue, it is important to
develop not only the economy of speech, but also the
approaches of diplomats aimed at increasing
coherence. This serves as a key factor in strengthening
mutual understanding and effectively managing
dialogue.
This research can serve as a basis for future research
work by overcoming complexities in international
communication and proposing ways to increase
efficiency. The results obtained during the study
include important recommendations for diplomats,
businessmen and other industry representatives and
help them develop their communication skills.
