Abstract

A compliment is a speaker's expression of a positive stance toward some referent attributable to her/his addressed recipient. Belonging to a larger class of supportive actions, compliments constitute a key practice through which a participant to an interaction can display explicit approval of another person; thus they can help interlocutors create or maintain social solidarity.
