Abstract:

Threatening is among the less pleasant “things we do with words”, but,
together with other conflictive speech acts, it seems to play a central role
in communication. Yet, little is still known about how and when exactly
speakers threaten. The present volume addresses this void by giving an
in-depth analysis of the form and function of this speech act. A set of
authentic threat utterances is used to probe questions on the linguistic
repertoire employed and the different objectives speakers pursue with their
threats. Based on the central findings, a classification of two types of
threats is proposed, each with distinctive formal and functional properties.
The analysis employs a mixed method approach with a two-fold aim; by combining
a qualitative discussion of examples with the application of innovative
statistical methodology, the findings allow new insights into research on
threats and, simultaneously, offer new perspectives on general research
methodology.
