Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyse the structural and functional differentiation of hashtags – to record their formal types and illustrate functions which can be determined by the tag’s form but also independent of it. The author divides hashtags into one- and multicomponent ones, discusses their syntactic structure, grammatical form of the phrases used in them, and shows hashtag as a phenomenon in statu nascendi, pointing to the changes of its structure and its role in the internet communication.
