This study aims to capture the use of language in speech acts of praise and responses to praise on Facebook, especially in the Info Cegatan Jogja (ICJ) group. The purpose of the study is to describe the linguistic forms, topics, macro and micro strategies, and levels of sentiment in compliment interactions on digital platforms. Compliment and response data were obtained through tapping methods (using the Export Comment program), screen capture, and notes. Data were analyzed using comparative, introspection, and pragmatic equivalent methods, and presented formally and informally.
The results of the study show that the forms of praise and responses on social media are very diverse. Linguistically, compliments are present in the form of words, phrases, single sentences, and compound complex sentences. Compliments are also often reinforced with nonverbal elements such as emojis, which function as markers of emotion, intensity, or politeness. Topics of praise include social actions, information contributions, community leadership, and humorous situations. Macro strategies in praising and responding reflect social norms, status, gender, and digital ethics. Meanwhile, micro strategies include word choice, sentence structure, and the use of visual symbols as affirmations.
The social implications of these findings suggest that social media such as Facebook are not only spaces for expression, but also arenas for identity negotiation, social validation, and the formation of digital solidarity. Compliments and responses to compliments serve as tools for maintaining community harmony and creating a sense of connectedness between members. This knowledge enriches sociopragmatic studies, while providing practical insights for social media users to communicate effectively and empathetically in online spaces.
