Abstract:

Official talk as a kind of institutional character interaction has not been a subject of detailed profound linguistic analyses so far. The article constitutes an attempt at describing an official conversation through conversation analysis which is aimed at focusing and interpretation of formal and informal elements. The presence of these elements in the official talks is conditional on the formal character of the conversation on the one hand, and on the other hand on its oral form. Formality and informality are treated as factors which shape the relation between interlocutors and as discourse control tools.
