Perception of Speech Aggression as a Manifestation of Dominance

Abstract

The authors investigate the phenomenon of speech aggression in the texts of various directions. In the process of the linguistic and pragmatic analysis, various forms of speech aggression are presented on the actual material, and an attempt is made to analyze their use, taking into account the factors that determine the generation and functioning of speech aggression. It is revealed that the problem of speech aggression is actual in the modern world. One of the important factors of aggression is associated with a number of nonverbal and situational aspects, as well as the degree of "maturity" of an individual. The richer the communication and life experience of a message recipient, the less often he/she perceives a received text as aggressive and less often shows retaliatory aggression as a defensive reaction. The formation of an influencing text as aggressive also depends on external circumstances and the speaker’s personality. The broader and richer the management tools of a text author, the more likely he/she will prefer non-aggressive methods of influence to achieve the goals set.

REZUMAT

În articol, autorii investighează fenomenul agresiunii verbale în texte de diferit tip. Sunt prezentate diverse forme de agresiune verbală, încercându-se analiza modului de utilizare a acestora, ținându-se cont de factorii care determină generarea și funcționarea lor. Cercetarea confirmă faptul că problema agresiunii verbale este una actuală în lumea modernă. Agresiunea, în bună parte, descinde dintr-o serie de fapte nonverbale și situaționale, cum ar fi, de exemplu, „maturitatea incompletă” a individului. Cu cât este mai frecventă comunicarea și mai bogată experiența de viață a unui destinatar al mesajului, cu atât mai rar acesta percepe un text ca unul agresiv sau dă dovadă de agresivitate, răzbunare ca reacție defensivă. Cu cât instrumentele de management ale unui autor de text sunt mai ample și mai bogate, cu atât acesta va prefera metode de influență neagresivă pentru a-şi atinge obiectivele stabilite prin scrierea textului dat.
