Abstract
The main goal of the article is to single out and describe the grammatical devices that generate memes; these are conditioned by both genology and the hyperconnective online communication that contributes to both the formation of the groups of senders-receivers and the shared common ground. The analysis is based on three Russia-themed meme templates (“THAT FEELING WHEN”, “IN SOVIET RUSSIA” and “OUR”). The study inspects the influence of the multimodality of memes on the formation of lexico-grammatical patterns that are adjusted to mediated communication and its brevity, replicability, innovativeness, productivity and cut and driedness.
