Genres of Network Discourse

The paper deals with genre characteristics of network discourse treated as communication in social networks. Constitutive features of this communication include (1) a communicative community of people who share mutual interests and have access to a common electronic resource, (2) multimodal semiotic nature of messages having visual, audial and textual components, (3) opportunity of immediate responses to any message, (4) a short communicative distance with merging of public and private formats of interaction.
