Abstract
The paper is devoted to the study of verbal aggression realised in online discourse. The aim of the study is to fix and describe lexical-semantic means of expressing verbal aggression in modern Ukrainian-language online discourse, namely in the social network Facebook. The main method of the study is the functional method, in particular, component, linguistic, linguistic and pragmatic analyses were applied. According to the results of the analysis, the lexico-semantic means of expressing verbal aggression are considered from two perspectives: pragmatically (invectives and obscene vocabulary and dysphemisms) and formally (stable expressions, neologisms and ocasional transformations of anthroponyms). These markers become manifestations of verbal aggression if they are used with the purpose of inflicting non-physical harm to the person at whom the aggression is directed.
