This article analyzes the use of personal pronouns in official documents drafted in the state language and their role in legal discourse. The semantic and pragmatic features of personal pronouns are examined in terms of defining the legal status of the subject, distributing responsibility, and reinforcing communicative orientation within legal texts. Pronouns such as “we,” “I,” and “they” are shown to fulfill important linguo-pragmatic functions that ensure clarity, conciseness, and persuasiveness of legal documents. Moreover, the normative and standardized use of pronouns is emphasized as a key factor in increasing the legal and social effectiveness of official communication in the state language.
