- ABSTRACT
This article aims to photograph how people use language on Facebook (FB) social media, especially when they give praise or respond to praise for a post/status. When the status is found to be good, interesting, or commendable, comments and responses containing praise are often found. The data for praising and responding to praise on FB was obtained from the Jogja Intercept Information Group (ICJ) which represents various levels of society. Data was obtained by tapping method with data scraping technique using export comments program, screenshot technique, and note-taking technique. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the methods of comparison, introspection, and pragmatic matching. After that, the data is presented with formal and informal methods. The results of the analysis show that there are two strategies commonly used by FB users, namely macro strategies and micro strategies. In the macro strategy, the praise response shows acceptance, rejection, denial, distrust, and diversion, while in the micro strategy there are several comments related to appearance, ability, possession, personality, and popularity. With this result, it is hoped that the community can choose and use the right strategy in praising and responding to praise to maintain harmony in human relations.
