Essay

This thesis brings to light narrative and discursive features of small stories of Brexit in the comments to posts of leading Brexit communities in the English segment of Facebook. It is demonstrated that small stories of Brexit on Facebook have the following narrative dimensions: hypertellership, tellability, embeddedness, nonlinearity, and hypertextuality. It is found out that the means ensuring the discursive impact of small stories of Brexit on Facebook embrace linguistic, metagraphemic and visual means. In small stories on Facebook, the virtual discursive identity of the narrator is constructed, an important component of which is stancetaking.
