چکیده | ||
The present study investigated the speech act of gratitude in the context of Instagram as one of the most popular social networks. It sought to consider English and Persian users’ utilization of gratitude strategies in terms of employment of politeness strategies, intensifiers, interjections, and gender difference. To this end, 200 English Instagram posts along with 200 Persian Instagram posts were investigated. Contrary to previous findings that indicated different performances by English and Persian language speakers in real-life situations, the results of this study, after performing chi-square tests, suggested no significant difference between English and Persian users in terms of their utilization of politeness strategies, intensifiers, and interjections. Regarding gender difference, which addressed the use of both gratitude and politeness strategies for each language, for both nationalities, no significant difference was observed between female and male users within the context of Instagram. The finding may signify the emergence of a new genre of language belonging to social networks in general and Instagram in particular. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
در این مطالعه، کنش کلامی قدردانی در اینستاگرام به عنوان یکی از مشهورترین شبکه های اجتماعی مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. این مقاله به بررسی استفاده از استراتژی های قدردانی کاربران انگلیسی و فارسی در زمینه ی استفاده از استراتژی های ادب ورزی، تشدید کننده ها، حروف ندا و تفاوت های جنسیتی پرداخته است. برای این منظور، دویست پست انگلیسی همراه با دویست پست فارسی مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. بر خلاف یافته های قبلی که نشان دهنده ی عملکرد متفاوت زبان آموزان انگلیسی و فارسی در شرایط واقعی بود، نتایج این مطالعه پس از انجام آزمون های آماری خی دو، تفاوت معنی داری میان کاربران انگلیسی و فارسی در استفاده از استراتژی های ادب ورزی، تشدید کننده ها و حروف ندا نشان نداد. با توجه به تفاوت جنسیتی که استفاده از دو راهکار قدردانی و استراتژی های ادب ورزی برای هر زبان را در نظر گرفت، هیچ تفاوت قابل توجهی میان کاربران زن و مرد در اینستاگرام مشاهده نشد. این یافته ممکن است ظهور ژانر جدیدی از زبان متعلق به شبکه های اجتماعی به طور کلی و به ویژه اینستاگرام را نشان دهد. | ||
