Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of verbal aggression in the discourse of drama. The aim was to identify the linguistic means that mark verbal aggression whether directly or indirectly and to specify the cognitive mechanisms. Having analyzed two plays (Chekhov's “Uncle Vanya” and Sadur's “Ekhaj”) the author summarizes the linguistic markers of verbal aggression paying special attention to autoagression as well as gradation of verbal and non-verbal means used to realize this “anti-polite” speech strategy.
