ANNOTATION

The subject matter of the course paper is the role of lexics and semantics in the case of business letter correspondence. The question of the history of official communication, the main stages of business transactions, the role of person’s feeling for the proper use of phrases as well as his knowledge of grammar are highlighted. Moreover, those phrases which are more often used in business letters are examined from the point of view of their appropriateness in different situations. The practical part contains several examples of business letters; the occasions on which they were written and some of their characteristics are observed.

INTRODUCTION

Letter writing - is an essential part of communication, an intimate part of experience. Each letter-writer has acharacteristic way of writing, his style of writing, his wayof expressing thoughts, facts, etc. but it must beemphasised that the routine of the official or semi-officialbusiness letters requires certain accepted idioms, phrases,patterns, and grammar which are found in general use today.Therefore certain skills must be acquired by practice, anddetails of writing must be carefully and thoroughly learnt.

A cheque, a contract or any other business paper sent bymail should always be accompanied by a letter. The letter sayswhat is being sent so that the recipient should know exactly whatyou intended to send. It is a typical business letter whichsome people call "routine". The letter may be short or long,it may contain some very important and much less importantinformation - every letter requires careful planning andthoughtful writing.

In recent years English has become a universal business language. As such, it is potentially an instrument of order and clarity. But words and phrases have unexpected ways of creating binding commitments.

Letter-writing, certainly, is not the same as casualconversation, it bears only the same power of thoughts,reflections, and observations as in conversational talk, butthe form may be quite different. What makes the letter soattractive and pleasing is not always the massage of theletter, it is often the manner and style in which the massageis written.

E.g.: "I wish to express to you my sincere appreciation for your note of congratulation."

o r "I am sincerely happy that you were elected President of Biological Society."

As you see such formulations show the attitude of the writer, his respect and sincerity.
