The article deals with the investigation of the role of pragmatic aspects in the choice of linguistic
elements during formal online communication. The investigation consisted of two phases. The first included the
analysis of the following three pragmatic aspects in synchronous online communication: peculiarities of
communication medium, conversational setting and message senders'/recipients' knowledge and goals. The
second phase was the analysis of the relevance of the linguistic means used by the students during the formal
online communication. The investigation showed that all three aspects that were analysed played a significant
role in the students' attempt to choose and manipulate with the linguistic elements pertinent to formal
negotiations. Thus these negotiation sessions provided the students with extensive practice aiming at the development of their communicative competence.
