Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of adverbs based on their semantic behavior in the comments section of the Instagram account @indozone.id and to identify the most dominant type of adverb used. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method supported by simple quantitative data in the form of the frequency of occurrence of each adverb type. The research data consisted of users’ comments on the Instagram account @indozone.id containing adverbs. Data were collected through documentation techniques by gathering, identifying, and classifying comments according to adverb categories based on their semantic behavior. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results revealed 30 instances of adverb usage, consisting of qualitative adverbs with 8 occurrences (26.67%), negative adverbs with 5 occurrences (16.67%), modal adverbs with 5 occurrences (16.67%), quantitative adverbs with 5 occurrences (16.67%), frequency adverbs with 4 occurrences (13.33%), aspect adverbs with 2 occurrences (6.67%), and restrictive adverbs with 1 occurrence (3.33%). Qualitative adverbs were found to be the most dominant type used in the comments on the Instagram account @indozone.id. From a pragmatic perspective, the use of adverbs in social media comments functions not only as a linguistic element that modifies other words but also as a means of strengthening evaluations, expressing attitudes, indicating possibilities, emphasizing statements, and clarifying speakers’ intentions in digital communication. These findings indicate that adverbs play an important role in shaping meaning and enhancing communication effectiveness on social media.
