Abstract
The Public Media Space and Destructive Communication of the "Language of Enmity": Law, Cognitive and Communicative-Pragmatic Mechanisms
Highlights
Destructiveness is a conceptual space consisting of a set of heterogeneous concepts, which include concepts of emotions that cause and support the destructive behavior of the individual, ideas about the factors and situations that contribute to the actualization and escalation of aggressive human behavior, concepts of emotions that arise as a result of a destructive act, prototypical and paraprototypic scenarios of destructive human behavior
The" language of enmity " in the Russian linguistic paradigm has been repeatedly characterized by researchers (See: Kuznetsova, Sokolova, 2004; Nikiporets-Takigawa, 2006), but this phenomenon is not a term in the full sense
Extra-linguistic base of "language of enmity" in the modern media is represented with a complex of socio-political, psychocultural, communication, legal and ethical factors with unstable and changing with time components that define the specificity of functioning this phenomenon and affect its linguistic component
Summary
Destructiveness is a conceptual space consisting of a set of heterogeneous concepts, which include concepts of emotions that cause and support the destructive behavior of the individual, ideas about the factors and situations that contribute to the actualization and escalation of aggressive human behavior, concepts of emotions that arise as a result of a destructive act, prototypical and paraprototypic scenarios of destructive human behavior. The situation of destructive communication is characterized by five obligatory constitutive features: a) destructive intention; b) negative emotional stimulus; c) indicators of verbal aggression and/or non-verbal markers of hostility/aggression; d) a negative reaction of the addressee, d) a positive reaction of the sender On the basis of various forms of aggression in communication, the possibility of objective observation of manifestations of aggressiveness and taking into account the causal relationship between the objectives of communication and strategies, tactics of behavior of communicants, it is possible to distinguish three types of situations of destructive communication: a) the situation of open destructive communication; b) the situation of hidden destructive communication; c) the situation of passive-destructive communication These types of situations of destructive communication are characterized by the predominance of a certain speech strategy in them, as well as a set of non-verbal components that act as the main criterion/feature referring a particular communication situation to a specific destructive type. Despite many terms used in science denote negative statements ("verbal extremism", "speech (language) aggression", "speech demagogy", "speech (language) conflict", "speech violence"," speech (language) manipulation"), none of them is an adequate synonym for the term "language of enmity", as it denotes either a phenomenon that is a particular case, or a concept that is broader in scope
