This paper aims to investigate a corpus of sixty posts and tweets which include speech acts of praise and compliment by Justin Trudeau, the current Canadian prime minister since 2015. This type of speech acts falls into the “expressives" category in Searle's taxonomy of speech acts. Moreover, the methodology which will be adopted in this research is the pragmatic approach and the speech act of praise model will be used to analyse the data in this study. This model is developed mainly from Kampf and Danziger's (2018) analytical framework which they used to analyse the different speech acts of praise delivered by selected politicians. Moreover, since their analytical framework did not include the speech act of self-praise, I had to adopt Rudiger's and Dayter's (2020) taxonomy of the speech act of self-praise and include it in my model. In addition to this, I studied the frequency of occurrence of the different linguistic devices used by Trudeau to deliver the speech acts of praise.
