This study examines the language of praise as it appears in posts on the social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter) in posts directed at Sharon Choi, who served as the official interpreter for the South Korean film Parasite (2019), directed by Bong Joon-ho, during the 2019-2020 film awards season. Praise is an everyday speech act that conveys positive appraisal (of someone or some object). Applying Du Bois' (2007) stance framework in accordance with Martin and White's (2005) appraisal theory, which primarily operates on the assertion that language should be viewed in terms of its social functions, I build on the theory of praise as it is related to stance-taking, and the subsequent development and expression of ideologies online. To this end, I analyze 23 quote-tweets of a post containing an exclusive article written by Choi and digitally published by Variety. Four main categories of praise content, i.e. what the subject (Choi) is being praised for, emerge in my analysis. First, users on X are seen to use various stance-taking techniques to praise Choi as an expert in her field. Second, users use affective language to praise Choi as someone who (I) relate to and/or understands (me). Third, users reference the social and political context of the 2020 Oscars in which Choi and Parasite (2019) were situated to praise Choi as a hero who represents something greater than herself. Finally, the fourth category reflects specialized use of slang terms such as "stan" and "queen" to accomplish acts of praise, reflecting the utility of slang as tools for community alignment and "diva worship" (Koestenbaum, 1993). This study adds a qualitative perspective to the study of praise as it is expressed in microblogging and broader computer-mediated discourse.
