Abstract
The paper discusses one of the variants of the prolonged syntactical form with the semantics of condition – complex conditional sentences. The authors examine an urgent problem of functioning of complex conditional sentences in the texts of the postcards in the project “Postcrossing”. The object under the study has been chosen because of the appearance of a new type of natural written English and the necessity to examine it from various aspects. The authors use such linguistic methods as the analysis of structure and function, the analysis of semantics and context. The paper provides a set of lexicogrammatical and pragmatic means that contribute to the subjective colouring of the modal-pragmatic superstructure of the complex conditional sentences. Two types of speech acts are determined in the texts of the postcards in the project “Postcrossing”. The study may be applicable for theoretical and practical studying of English grammar and written speech.
