Abstract

Flaming is a universal and widespread phenomenon that is regarded as part of human language recently. It is a phenomenon that dictates a certain social etiquette as reckless behavior of giving insults and words of profanity. Thus, the current study aims to scrutinize this phenomenon by means of pragmatic analysis. Consequently, the study adopts a qualitative approach in analyzing the data. The data are obtained from the social media specifically from Tweets to be described in an analysis according to an adopted model. The results show that Trump's language is full of this phenomenon that expressed publically with implied intentions.
