The linguistic functions of hashtags</strong></h2>
<p style="margin:1em 0; padding:0; color:#000000; font-family:Helvetica; font-size:15px; line-height:150%; text-align:left">

<br>
The drive to make our discourse readily findable by others has become a prominent social process, realised by a range of online communicative practices associated with social media. A key semiotic resource integral to microblogging is the hashtag, a form of
social tagging that allows microbloggers to embed metadata in posts.<br>
<br>
While popularly thought of as topic-markers, hashtags are able to construe a range of complex meanings in social media texts. This paper uses Halliday’s (1978) concept of linguistic metafunctions, to explore how hashtags enact three simultaneous communicative
functions: marking experiential topics, enacting interpersonal relationships, and organizing text. </p>
