This qualitative descriptive study evaluates netizen opinions in Elliot Page's coming-out post on Instagram which garnered over 140.000 reactions at the time of analysis, serves as the context. A selection of 24 comments related to gender pronouns has been chosen for the data. This research seeks to examine how online users express their stances, utilizing the engagement system from appraisal theory and helps categorizing netizens’ comments into monogloss and heterogloss. Based on this analysis, netizens seem to support, oppose, or compromise Elliot's gender pronouns using various types of engagement systems.

Abstract

Abstract: : This study utilizes the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA) to investigate the semantic changes in English basic color terms by comparing their usage in the Victorian Era (1840s–1890s) and the Contemporary Era (1950s–2010s). The research focuses on how these terms have evolved in meaning and association, as reflected in frequency trends and collocational patterns. Frequency analysis reveals an expansion in color terminology over time, mostly aligning with Berlin and Kay’s basic color theory. This growth, particularly in less common color terms, suggests that modern cultural and societal factors might influence their development. Collocational analysis shows shifts in tone and usage, with red, green, and blue acquiring more positive associations (amelioration), while white, yellow, and grey show increasingly negative connotations (pejoration). Additionally, terms like purple, pink, and orange display broadened meanings, whereas black and brown have narrowed in their associations. The findings highlight a transition from natural and aesthetic contexts in the Victorian Era to more practical and commercial applications in contemporary use. This study offers valuable insights into the processes of semantic change and the broader significance of color terminology in English. Keywords: semantic change, color terms, diachronic corpus
