LINGUISTIC VARIATION IN ONLINE SYMPATHY EXPRESSION
Keywords:
Abstract
The digital age has transformed the way individuals express sympathy and condolences, particularly in the aftermath of tragic incidents such as the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey on February 6, 2023. This study aims to explore the linguistic variation in online condolences posted on social media platforms in response to this natural disaster. By employing a qualitative analysis of condolence messages, we examine the syntactic and pragmatic elements that characterize these expressions of sympathy. Our findings reveal distinct linguistic patterns and thematic functions, including expressions of empathy, solidarity, and religious undertones. The study highlights the influence of cultural and contextual factors on the language of online condolences, shedding light on the complex interplay between language, culture, and digital communication in times of tragedy.
