Abstract: This research reveals international legal discourse main peculiarities. The issue discussed includes international legal discourse distinction from related types of discourse – legal and diplomatic ones. International legal discourse was formed on the overlap of diplomatic and legal discourses. Thus, international legal discourse in English has such significant peculiarities as assimilation, institutionalization, prolixity, ambiguity, use of Latinisms and French loanwords, impersonalization, excessive solemnity and politeness, use of words associated with legal discourse including archaisms as well as legal terms, etc. Therefore, international legal discourse is an autonomous type of discourse that gradually changes and reveals perspectives for the future research.
