ial features of the style of international agreements. That is why the words are used in their logical dictionary meaning, neologisms are not typical, the use of synonyms is limited [5, p. 15]. Of CoE resolutions and recommendations as well as texts of other official documents are also characterized by the following features:
. A special system of clich Г© s and set expressions is prolific in such texts, which creates the style peculiar to CoE binding do cuments promoting a considerable degree of their lexical and syntactic standardization.
