eng	Expressing Support and Encouragement in On-line Discussions	On-line communication represents a type of discourse with features typical both of written and of spoken discourse. Interaction as the primary function of spoken discourse, contrasted to information as the primary function of written discourse, influences the structure of exchanges in on-line discussions no matter if they are synchronous or asynchronous. This talk presents the analysis of the language of on-line asynchronous discussions whose purpose was to promote collaboration among students during their work on independent task. The research is focused on identifying the ways of expressing support and encouragement, sorting them according to the structure, interrelating individual structural types with particular meanings and searching for general tendencies of the distribution depending on various factors. Finally, the findings are discussed in relation to the interactional and informational functions of the on-line contributions with an attempt at interpreting their effect on the direct addressee and on the other participants of the discussion.
