The present paper is a reflection on some of the conceptual discussions about graffiti and its broad applicability studied within the scope of linguistics in the recent years. The paper contains detailed information concerning the question what graffiti is and goes over the main linguistic features, their usage and functions as texts, as well as tries to reveal the contemporary tendencies of the development of graffiti along with the growing social, political or personal issues citizens experience every day. Along with the different achievements in the sphere of linguistics, graffiti should be considered as a model of communication. The paper aims to put the knowledge to use and to highlight the importance of studying graffiti texts from this new angle.
