There are two forms of how a language is produced, namely oral (spoken) and written forms. Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) is a kind of communication  by computer  today which have both oral and written forms. Facebook is a popular social networking sites which can be included into one of CMC  types. The writer conducted a research about language phenomenon  found in facebook status to see how the written theory has changed with the coming of CMC. There are two problems to be solved the study, those are : (1) What the characteristics of Computer-Mediated Communication which are used by facebook users, and (2) What the factors influencing facebook status which have the characteristics of Computer-Mediated Communication.  This study uses the Paolillo’s theory (2001) about characteristics of CMC.  Those  are  orthography, vocabulary, grammar, discourse text, and paralinguistic graphic. This study uses qualitative approach especially document or textual analysis because it analyzes the sentences in facebook status. The researcher has 103 facebook status which have characteristics of CMC. The characteristics found in facebook status are orthography, vocabulary, grammar, discourse text, and paralinguistic graphic. Sometimes,  a facebook status has more than a characteristic of CMC. But, the characteristic mostly found in facebook status is paralinguistic graphic with the total of  92  status, followed by 45 status of grammar characteristic. The next one is 36 status of orthography, followed by discourse text with the total of 19 status. The last characteristic is vocabulary. It has 17 status.  From 103 facebook status,  there is just  one  status which  has not characteristic of CMC and it is  standard of written language. Actually, there are some factors  why people use the characteristics  of CMC, but in this research, there are gender and age factors which can be clearly seen in  facebook. As the conclusion, characteristics of CMC really exist in the social media, especially in facebook status. People are free to write everything they want in social media without thinking about the formality or standardization of the language. The researcher suggests to the next researchers to find out other language phenomena because those are interesting topic for the readers. For the example is Bahasa alay  phenomenon. It is confusing for some people. They can ask the participants about the meaning of the sentences in Bahasa alay. She also suggests to discuss other social media, like twitter, blog, blackberry messenger, and so on. In addition, it is also expected that the next researchers  use more  various approaches to analyze the data

This phenomenon has encouraged the writer to analyze the implicature used in condom commercials. Pragmatic approach especially the theory of relevance is applied in this study. This study aims at analyzing the implicature used in condom commercials using relevance theory derived from explicature, higher level explicature, and implicature.The data source of this study was condom commercials broadcasted in Indonesian television. There were 13 data taken from 5 Sutra condom commercials, 7 Fiesta condom commercials, and 1 Durex condom commercial. The writer used qualitative approach with document analysis to analyze the relevance.This study revealed that in uncovering the implicature used in condom commercials, three stage processes were done. Explicature is used to give detailed explanation about the utterances uttered by the speakers helped by the context. In this study, the explicating process was derived via reference assignment and bridging. Deriving higher-level explicature is needed to find the propositional attitude toward the speakers’ utterances by analyzing non-linguistic aspects where in this study tone voice is used by the speakers. Deriving the implicature requires the viewers’ knowledge and the most suitable context which are represented in implicit premises that are constructed based on the context and implicated conclusion obtained by drawing conclusion from the whole process. It can be inferred that the implicit meaning coming from condom commercials are about introducing the products with their characteristics or specialties which differ from other competitors. The message about the importance of using condom before having sexual activities are also delivered by the advertisers. It is concluded that explicature, higher-level explicature, and implicature are interpreted by drawing inferences retrieved from the context, background knowledge, and assumptions.The next writers are recommended that they conduct similar studies aboutrelevance theory with different objects such as cigarette and birth pill controlcommercials broadcasted on television. The writer also suggests the televisionviewers understand deeply the message delivered in televsion commercials
