Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the linguistic means of shaping conversational functional style on Internet forums. For linguistics the means by which communication takes place on the Internet, as a potential source of language complex are extremely interesting and research will provide new knowledge about language and conversational style. Formal determinants of conversational style will be presented at different levels (phonostylistic, morphostylistic, lexicostylistic, syntaxostylistic and textual) with citations of specific examples. Since one type of global communication is enabled by the Internet, it will also be explored how communication by Internet forums affects language expressions.
