New media literature is an original literary form created and communicated through digital technology and Internet platforms and integrating various discourse forms.Drawing on the theory of semiotic rhetoric,this article finds that the development of Chinese new media literature follows the sequence of the evolution of four tropes.After the metaphor phase characterised by specialised content and Internet platforms,the metonymy phase characterised by multimedia displays and experiential texts,and the synecdoche phase advocating the"reader's text"and interactive creation,the new generation of artificial intelligence represented by Chat GPT 4.0 has gradually become the mainstream technology and new media literature has gradually ushered in the irony phase of artificial intelligence production.In the era of deep mediatisation,in-depth research into the integration and development of technology and literature is warranted.
