Abstract
The article provides a semantic analysis of the Russian notion “duty assignment” used in the official communication. The author aims to examine how it correlates with the German notion “Auftrag”. This phenomenon is not adequately covered in the linguistic literature, despite the fact that along with orders and directions it is one of the main types of speech actions in the formal and business sphere of communication. The study involved the analysis of lexeme semantics, the representants of notions, lexicographical data and examples from the German National Corpus. Relying on the findings the author identifies the basic features on the basis of which the preliminary definition of the notion “duty assignment” is formulated.
