Abstract
The use of Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) has contributed to the development of pragmatic research, particularly studies on speech acts. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to analyze trends in speech act research on the social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and X during the period 2024–2025. The findings indicate that speech act research on social media in 2024–2025 is dominated by the platform X (47%), followed by Instagram (30%), and Facebook (23%). The most frequently used objects of analysis representing digital interaction are tweets or posts (59.26%) and comment sections (29.63%). In addition, illocutionary speech acts constitute the most frequently studied focus. These studies generally examine political communication/campaigns, local product marketing, the dissemination of issues or social criticism, and users’ emotional expression on social media. Thus, research trends on speech acts in social media during the 2024–2025 period tend to focus on the analysis of illocutionary speech acts in various digital communication contexts, with tweets, posts, and comments as the primary objects of study, predominantly on the X, Instagram, and Facebook platforms.
