With the increasing development of social communication on social media networks, new linguistic forms have emerged thanks
to the technological devices offered by digital platforms, which can be regarded as open spaces characterised by hypertextuality
and polysemioticity. This research aims to analyse the typical features of the social media Twitter which is largely used
by news media professionals and by political leaders for their official communication. As a sociotechnical digital communication
platform, Twitter proves to be the most appropriate broadcast medium for live news since it tends to reduce social and geographical
distances between Twitter users who can interact with each other by sending informal messages. Eventually, Twitter can often
be viewed as the first social media network allowing transmedial quotations that circulate on other social networks.
