摘要：Analysis of office discourse between adult roleequals has not been attempted to date in Croato-Serbian. We suggest a possible coding system for such a discourse situation and analyse the varied ways in which people get others to do things; the role of non-linguistic utterances; the :incidence and kinds of ellipticality; discourse cohesion; the incidence and kinds of regulatives of person-to-person and person-touworld relations. This research is planned as a basis for future contrastive work in this field.
