This contribution investigates the use of list constructions as a rhetorical tool in the Twitter communication of four Italian political leaders (Giorgia Meloni – Fratelli d’Italia; Matteo Salvini – Lega; Matteo Renzi – Italia Viva; and Nicola Zingaretti – Partito Democratico), by analyzing a corpus of 4,371 tweets from which 449 lists have been extrapolated. The results suggest that there is indeed a deliberate and strategic use of this construction and that the main purpose of list outliers is to persuade readers (potential voters).

Abstract
This contribution investigates the use of list constructions as a rhetorical tool in the Twitter communication of four Italian political leaders (Giorgia Meloni – Fratelli d’Italia; Matteo Salvini – Lega; Matteo Renzi – Italia Viva; and Nicola Zingaretti – Partito Democratico), by analyzing a corpus of 4,371 tweets from which 449 lists have been extrapolated. The results suggest that there is indeed a deliberate and strategic use of this construction and that the main purpose of list outliers is to persuade readers (potential voters).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
