Summary/Abstract: The study of social media discourses requires alternative methods to traditional narratology. We propose a tool that can be used in this promising area of research. We explain blending in metaphor and mathematical communication, showing how the latter can be extended to social media. The underlying idea is that style describes how the parts of a narrative are blended into the whole.
