Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper are salutation formulas used by Croatian and Italian students in e-mail messages to their professors. The objectives were to determine (1) salutation formulas used by Croatian students in formal e-mail messages, (2) salutation formulas used by Italian students in formal e-mail messages, and (3) does students’ cultural background in any way affect the salutation formulas they use in formal e-mail messages. We found that the choice of salutation formulas is still not settled and that a hybridisation process exists which combines language features characteristic of both speech and writing. The results indicate that it is not possible to generalise salutation formulas in electronic communication but rather the conditions governing their selection and other factors.
