| Description | This article deals with a fascinating world of Facebook commentary sections under the news portals where headlines and articles about elites can be found at the same time with a pool of reactions in the comment section where users of social media express their opinions. Research method is based on discourse analysis of chosen Croatian media on Facebook in selected timeframe. We can divide the users into few groups a) the supporters and fans; b) in opposition; c) those who are (trying to be) funny no matter the situation; d) drawing attention to the deprived to level the field e) asking “who cares” or “who are they anyway”. The main contribution of this text is a monitoring of the language/social place that is not explored that much especially when it comes to small language environment. The comment sections reflect not only language in use but also moods, wits, and problems of its users and it mirrors how this part of society feels and talks about privileged. |
