Spontaneous spoken discourse represents a specific field of analysis due to its simultaneous production and planning, and due to the more or less formal communication situation. The characteristic elements in formal and informal types of discourse in a million-word corpus of spoken Slovene are analysed. The results show non-canonic pronunciation in personal discourse; similarities between public informational and formal discourse on the lexical level; and some specifics of each of the analysed discourses at the part-of-speech level.
