Abstract:

The present volume focuses on complimenting behavior, including the awarding
of (self-)praise, as manifested on social media. These commonplace activities
have been found to fulfil a wide range of functions in face-to-face
interaction, discoursal and relational amongst others. However, even though
the giving of compliments and praise has become a pervasive practice in online
environments, it remains a largely underexplored field of study within
pragmatics. Self-praise is an activity that appears at the present time to be
rapidly gaining ground online, and the various functions it performs clearly
also need further investigation. The different contributions to this
ground-breaking volume – 12 in total – aim to address this gap in research by
exploring and shedding light on a number of aspects of these phenomena in a
range of languages and language varieties. New socio-digital contexts are
examined, supported in some cases by social networking sites not previously
studied in complimenting behavior research. These include Facebook, Instagram,
Renren, Twitter, as well as web forums, message boards and live text
commentary.
