Summary/Abstract: Administrative language is the written language used by administrative organizations and performed in administrative documents. These documents have the following functions: to affirm and impart information; to articulate and coordinate information. The present article has three subjects in focus: syntactic structure of regulations as an example of administrative texts; functional classification of directive processes in these regulations and how the deontic agent (actor) is represented.
