Abstract

The article discusses features of Russian-language business messenger-communication on the example of such a speech genre as a business meeting. The researchers touch upon a communicative and linguistic structure of a business meeting, which is organized in a professional (working) group in the Telegram messenger. Electronic messages are used as the research material. The fundamental features of the online speech genre “business meeting” are analysed and its differences from the traditional genre of oral communication are revealed. Special attention is paid to the description of the extralinguistic basis of the Internet genre, the relations between the communicative partners in the messenger group, the implemented speech intentions (establishing contact, informing, expression of motivation, expression of opinion and evaluation). In addition, the conclusion is made about the linguistic features of electronic messages sent in working network groups: lexico-semantic, morphological and syntactic levels. In this way, if the main genre-forming features correspond, a business meeting in the messenger community has a special communication system and speech embodiment.
