Document communication: culture-and-speech conditions of implementation

Some results of the analysis of cultural and communicative features of official texts are presented in this article. The author analyzes the features of national document communication that influence the document, its design, requisite elements and some peculiatrities of their speech realization. The factors defining cultural and communication basis of document activities are described in detail. It is shown that the creation of document texts is carried out in the complex contexts where we can observe interaction of extralinguistic conditions, traditions, and communication rules prevailing in modern cultures. The document as a main tool of official communication is studied as a regulated system of requisite elements. Their content and speech presentation are regulated through the complex set of requirements. These requirements are based on two substantial platforms: linguistic (choice of language signs and their textual organization) and extralinguistic (the content of requisite elements, limitations of this content and forms of realization). In the conditions of unsteady document communication a composition of text fragments which find embodiment in document texts is changed as a result of change in the maintenance of unifying and standardizings facilities. A speech variety of these fragments is the certificate of permanent immersion in new informative realities. The material presented here is an informational basis of the speech fragments analysis, which correlates with the unifying requirements described in the standards of different countries.
