Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore and elaborate on the functions of expressive speech acts based on cyber pragmatics. This study uses a qualitative approach with content analysis methods. The source of data in this study is the entire language activity contained in the comments section of the @kompas.com YouTube account which was published on January 27, 2024 with a total of 858 comments. The Data in this study are all expressive utterances contained in the comments section of the @kompas.com YouTube account to 335 utterances. The data collection techniques used are technical documentation and reading techniques. After conducting a series of studies the function of expressive speech acts found that praise, thank you, criticize, congratulate, apologize/forgive, blame, accuse, sympathize, berate, support, insult, expression of disappointment, ridicule, and reject. The dominant expressive function appears to be the supportive function. The psychological attitude that causes the emergence of expressive speech acts is supportive because the support given is directed to prospective partner 02, Mr. Prabowo and Gibran. Meanwhile, the functions of speech that are not found are to yell, welcome, forgive, express condolences, and complain. The non-appearance of the function is due to the fact that the discussion raised has nothing to do with expressive speech acts. In the realm of conversational cyber pragmatics, the absence of expressive speech functions will be different in every social media post.
