In the office world time runs in a different way than in the world. of colloquial expe- rience. Untargeted texts (legał texts) project futurę events; therefore a considerable num- ber of office utterances is formed in a futurę tense. In legał utterances there is actually only a relative time i.e. as far as time is concemed, an event may be presented only in re- ference to a different event and time period between them, and not through a datę (an ab- solute time moment). The absolute time appears only in the regulations determining the datę when a given legał act comes into force.On the other hand, in office letters, the absolute time (the calendar time) dominates, which is connected with a documenting function of these texts. Time dating is connected with factography and further proceedings. Time deixis is expressed in the form of nume- rals indicating a day, a month and a year, or in the form of adverbs (e.g. immediately, promptly etc.)
