Summary/Abstract: The development of information technologies in the globalized world provokes changes of communication, changes in the image of sender and receiver as well as of the message. The aim of this paper is to indicate the changes in Internet communication, caused by situation of communication and the relation between the sender and the receiver. The fundamental differences in their position in the Internet communication, comparing to the traditional real communication, are based on the reduction of the physical distance between them caused by the medium (Internet), the change of the relation from “face to face” to “interface to interface” and, type of communication “one to one” and “spoken communication”. Dialogue on Internet - while communication practices are continuously changing - can be characterized by the multiplicity of levels and the multiplicity of elements and, is hypertextual and multimedia. The language of utterance is changing as well and the new genres are appearing - chats, blogs and Internet sites. The increasing globalization and “rotating identities” of Internet senders are changing the image of the culture of language.
