Abstract:

Hate speech continues to be an issue of key social significance, yet while its
lexical and discursive aspects have been widely studied, its grammatical
traits have been hitherto overlooked. This book seeks to address this gap by
bringing together a global team of scholars to explore the morphosyntactic
features of hateful and aggressive discourse. Drawing on thirteen diverse
cross-linguistic case studies, it reveals how hate is expressed in political
discourse, slang, and social media, and towards a range of target groups
relating to gender, sexual orientation, and ethnic identity. Based on ideas
from functional and cognitive linguistics, each thematic part demonstrates how
features such as morphology, word formation, pronoun use, and syntactic
structures are manipulated for the purpose of expressing hostility and hate.
An innovative approach to an age-old problem, this book is essential reading
for researchers and students of hate speech and verbal aggression.
