Compliments are common in daily communication as they serve to build solidarity. They are given within speech communities depending on the extra-linguistic factors, such as gender and the relationship among the speakers. The current research focuses on how male and female characters in the movie “Me Before You” express compliments. This study elaborates real examples on how compliments are used to serve particular social functions. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method in analyzing the data from the subtitle of “Me Before You” movie using a framework by Herbert, Manes, and Wolfson. The researcher found there were four compliment functions that were used by male and female characters in the movie, namely expressing admiration, solidarity,  conversation strategy and reinforced desired behavior. However, in the movie, we did not find the compliments to replace other speech acts and soften criticisms as the language used in the movie is highly influenced by the main characters that tend to be straight forward. The use of compliments is highly affected by the traits of the characters and the plot narrating how the lead male character undergoes the transitions to be a better person.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between social identity and the taboo words men and women use in order to express their anger. Moreover, this study went further and investigated the relationship between using taboo words in male and female participants who had a university degree and those who did not. In order to do the research, 20 female and 20 male adults, whose professions were similar in pairs, were randomly selected. The researcher recorded their voices when they were in an angry mood. After recording data, the researcher made a transcription of the first fifty words uttered by each participant. Then, the taboo words- words which were considered offensive or shocking and that were discouraged in public places - were calculated. Finally, the percentage of taboo words used by each participant was calculated and compared to that of the others. The findings of the study confirmed that the percentage of using taboo language by male characters, in different social identities, was much more than that of female characters. On the other hand, by dividing the participants into two groups of those who had a university degree, and those with no university degree, the researcher came to the conclusion that both male and female participants with a university degree used less taboo words than those without a university degree.
