As an empirical material, the author took examples of media files published by Armenian Internet resources (magaghat.am, azg.am/AM/culture). As a result of the analysis, were discovered the characteristic forms of the authors relationship with the internal I (internal recipients). These communicative forms give the text persuasiveness and integrity, which paves the way for the audience. A number of peculiarities of the internal dialogue were examined separately in a letter (Charlie Chaplin's letter to his daughter Geraldine) and in an essay (No, oh Tolstoy, no!). As a conclusion the common and distinctive aspects emerging in these two genres were summed up.</p>internal dialoguemedia textletteressayauthorinternal addresseeaudienceвнутренний диалогмедиатекстписьмоэссеавторвнутренний адресатаудитория[Stecenko N.M.
