Drawing on a mixed-methods design, the study combines survey data on speakers’ evaluations of aggressive expressions with a corpus-based analysis of their occurrence in authentic discourse. The findings demonstrate that verbal aggression is not an inherent property of lexical items, but rather an emergent, context-dependent phenomenon shaped by interpretation, communicative setting, and social variables.<br />By integrating linguistic, pragmatic, and computational approaches, the book challenges traditional views that treat aggressive language as a fixed category and instead proposes a gradient, non-prototypical model of verbal aggression. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between perception and actual language use, as well as to the limitations of automated hate speech detection systems.<br />The study contributes to research in linguistics, discourse analysis, and media studies, offering new insights into the dynamics of evaluative language in contemporary communication. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/impact.57.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027237606.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027237606.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/impact.57.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/impact.57.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/impact.57.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/impact.57.hb.png 10 01 JB code impact.57.prelim i iv 4 Prelim pages 1 10 01 JB code impact.57.toc v vii 3 Table of contents 2 10 01 JB code impact.57.lot ix 1 Table of contents 3 10 01 JB code impact.57.lof xi xiv 4 Table of contents 4 10 01 JB code impact.57.ack xv 1 Acknowledgments 5 10 01 JB code impact.57.intro 1 3 3 Chapter 6 10 01 JB code impact.57.c01 4 9 6 Chapter 7 10 01 JB code impact.57.c02 10 50 41 Chapter 8 10 01 JB code impact.57.c03 51 67 17 Chapter 9 10 01 JB code impact.57.c04 68 138 71 Chapter 10 10 01 JB code impact.57.c05 139 160 22 Chapter 11 10 01 JB code impact.57.c06 161 168 8 Chapter 12 10 01 JB code impact.57.refs 169 185 17 References 13 10 01 JB code impact.57.app 187 1 Section header 14 10 01 JB code impact.57.app1 188 221 34 Appendix 15 10 01 JB code impact.57.app2 222 231 10 Appendix 16 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 02 November 2026 20261115 2026 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027237606 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 10 20261115 01 00 135.00 EUR R 01 00 113.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 176.00 USD S 599031258 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code Impact 57 Hb 15 9789027237606 BB 01 Impact 02 1385-7908 IMPACT: Studies in Language, Culture and Society 57 01 impact.57 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/impact.57 1 A01 Artur Świątek Świątek, Artur Artur Świątek University of National Education Commission, Krakow 01 eng 250 xv 232 + index LAN009050 v.2006 CFB 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SLAV Balto-Slavic linguistics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.SOCIO Sociolinguistics and Dialectology 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 06 01 This monograph investigates verbal aggression in contemporary Polish from a usage-based and perception-oriented perspective.
