  Verbal Aggression, Communication Traits

Proposals are invited for a thematic panel on anti-Asian hate in digital discourses. It is organized by Massimiliano Demata (University of Turin) and Natalia Knoblock (Saginaw Valley State University). It will be held at the 3rd International Conference: Approaches to Digital Discourse Analysis (ADDA3), which will take place at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg, FL, USA on May 13–15, 2022.

As reported, racism and anti-Chinese sentiments increased significantly after the start of the pandemic and have been directly linked to it (Vachuska, 2020). Disturbingly, over ¾ of Chinese Americans polled about their experiences reported being victim of at least 1 incident of COVID-19 racial discrimination online and/or in person, and over half perceived health-related Sinophobia in America and media-perpetuated Sinophobia (Cheah et al., 2020). Verbal and physical attacks on Asian Americans have been linked to racism and xenophobia deeply entrenched in the US society, and to the “us vs. them” worldview relegating Asian Americans to the bottom of the social hierarchy (Gover, Harper & Langton, 2020). Such feelings have been at least partly caused or exacerbated by the inflammatory rhetoric by the US politicians (Wu, 2020), and there has been evidence of ex-president Trump’s tweets to cause an uptick in anti-Asian verbal aggression on Twitter (Ziems et al., 2020). Researchers have analyzed the victims’ narratives (Satoh & Hata 2021) and even identified counter-discourses employing linguistic creativity to oppose hate (Zhu, 2020)

This panel aims to continue and expand the research into the racially motivated anti-Asian hate speech and verbal aggression, amplified during the Coronavirus pandemic, and it will examine the role of the digital medium in their shaping and dissemination. We invite proposals (not limited to the US context) that address discursive representations of anti-Asian sentiment, the spread of hateful messages through networks, the role of the hateful rhetoric by pundits and politicians, denialism and legitimation strategies, discursive constructing of otherness, counter-hate messages, and similar themes. This panel has a particular interest in the issues of inequality, prejudice, and discrimination. A variety of methods and approaches are welcome, and interdisciplinary studies are appropriate.

Please submit your abstract of up to 350 words to Natalia Knoblock (nlknoblo@svsu.edu) or Massimiliano Demata (massimiliano.demata@unito.it) by September 25th. In your abstract, clearly state the aims and research questions of your paper, its theoretical foundations, the data and methods used to analyze it, as well as some of the findings.

Verbale Aggression gehört zu den Forschungsgegen-ständen, die die Pragmalinguistik in den letzten Jahr-zehnten-auch angesichts der wachsenden Brisanz des Problems in der sozialen Arena und in den Medi-en-mit spürbarem Erkenntnisgewinn entwickelt hat. Aggression ist an sich kein linguistisches Phänomen, sondern ein Ensemble von biologischen Faktoren so-wie psychologischen und sozialen Mechanismen, die der Selbsterhaltung des Individuums oder der Gat-tung in lebenskritischen Momenten und in Konfliktsi-tuationen dienen. Demnach ist Aggression grundsätz-lich ein Device zur Selbsterhaltung und Fortentwick-lung der Gattung in der Tierwelt, das Menschen als Teil ihrer genetischen Ausstattung geerbt und in ›menschlichen‹ kulturgebundenen Formen (vgl. Bo-nacchi 2012) weiterentwickelt haben. Zu diesen Wei-terentwicklungen gehören auch die symbolischen Formen der Aggression, wie sprachliche Aggression oder Aggression in der Kunst. Aggression ist ein am-bivalentes Phänomen: Sie fasziniert und bannt, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der freigesetzten Affekte und der sie nährenden starken Emotionen. Sie steht mit Hass, Lie-be, Angst, Frustration im engen Zusammenhang, jagt Schrecken, Furcht, Schauer ein, sie provoziert Rebellion , Wut, Ohnmacht oder Abscheu, sie erweckt Lust, Überlegenheit und Schadenfreude (vgl. Wahl 2009: 2). Diese grundsätzliche Ambivalenz wird durch die Wortetymologie belegt: Das Wort ›Aggression‹ geht auf das Substantiv aggressio, aggressiōnis zurück, das wiederum eine Ableitung (aggressus sum) der Verb-form (Deponens) aggredī ist. Das Verb hatte primär die neutrale Bedeutung ›herangehen‹, ›sich an jemanden wenden‹, erst sekundär − wohl auf der Basis einer eu-phemistischen Verwendung − nahm es die zunächst wörtliche, dann figurative Bedeutung ›an-greifen‹ an. ›Herangehen‹, ›sich an jemanden wenden‹ bzw. ›an-greifen‹ sind skalare Handlungen, die ineinander über-gehen und nicht notwendig bedrohlich für den Ande-ren sein müssen. Die Wortetymologie zeigt also, dass mit ›Aggression‹ eine Annäherung intendiert ist, die erst ab einem bestimmten Moment und unter be-stimmten Voraussetzungen zu einer Bedrohung wird. Die ersten modernen Studien über Aggression ent-standen im Rahmen der Biologie, der Ethologie und der Psychologie; bis heute liefern diese Disziplinen grundlegende Ansätze zur Begriffsbildung und zur ausführlichen Überblick; vgl. Bonacchi 2017). Für die Aggressionsgenese bei Menschen wird hauptsächlich auf drei theoretische Modelle hingewiesen, die in wei-ten Teilen einander nicht ausschließen: auf den trieb-theoretischen (vgl. Freud 1905; Freud 1912−1913; Freud 1930) und instinkttheoretischen Ansatz (vgl. Lorenz 1963), auf die Frustrations-Aggressions-Theo-rie der Forschungsgruppe der Universität Yale (vgl. Dollard/Doob et al. 1939; weiter entwickelt u. a. von Berkowitz 1965, 1969 und 1993) und auf die Theorie der Aggression als Resultat von Lernprozessen (u. a. Bandura 1973, deutsche Übersetzung 1979). Der trieb-und der instinkttheoretische Ansatz ver-steht Aggression als angeborenes Verhalten, das der Erhaltung des Individuums und der Gattung dient. Aggressive Energie wird ständig ›erzeugt‹ und muss, ähnlich wie in einem DampThessel, immer wieder ›ab-gelassen‹ werden, weil sie naturgemäß den Druck im Kessel erhöht und nach Entladung drängt. Die Ent-ladung (Befreiung) kann unterschiedliche Formen annehmen und ist prinzipiell grundsätzlich lustbetont (kathartischer Effekt). Der für die Selbsterhaltung des Individuums grundlegende Aggressionstrieb erfüllt in der Tierwelt wichtige biologische Funktionen: die Be-stimmung und Verteidigung des Lebensraumes, das Jagdverhalten, die Festlegung von Hierarchien, die Verteilung der Ressourcen und der Schutz eigener Nachkommen. Erst beim Menschen wird dieser an-geborene Instinkt zu einem Problem, da in einer zivi-lisierten Menschenwelt meist keine einfache Ent-ladung aufgestauter Aggression zugelassen wird. Die Frustrations-Aggressions-Hypothese ergänzt den triebtheoretischen Ansatz durch die Annahme, dass aggressive Impulse vor allem durch Frustration und Versagung eines Triebwunsches entstehen. Die psychische Energie, die ursprünglich auf ein Ziel ge-richtet ist, verwandelt sich in aggressive bzw. zerstöre-rische Energie. Falls die Entladung der negativen Energie auf das ursprüngliche Aggressionsziel sank-tioniert ist oder aus unterschiedlichen Gründen un-möglich ist, kann eine Verschiebung des Aggressions-ziels oder eine Änderung der Aggressionsform (Er-satzfunktion) erfolgen (vgl. Dollard/Doob et al. 1939: 7). Aggression sei daher das Ergebnis einer Verschie-bung, die zum Teil sanktionspräventiv motiviert ist. Nach Leonard Berkowitz führt Frustration zur Aggression nur unter der Bedingung, dass ein aversives Erleben mit hoher emotionaler Erregung einhergeht (vgl. Berkowitz 1965: 360−362).

The present monograph documents and analyses the contemporary trends in public communication over the last decades which the general public, i.e., speakers outside the field of linguistics and cultural studies, has interpreted intuitively as “worsening” and “lowering of standards”. It focuses on expressivity in public discourse in Czech and Polish, monitored for the period between the end of the World War II and the present. The use of expressivity and vulgarisms in public communication has been studied in an extensive corpus of both written and spoken texts and analysed from quantitative as well as qualitative perspective. The researchers’ main intention was to characterize the linguistic means of expressivity and to learn which linguistic planes are employed most frequently for these communicative purposes. The essential part of the monograph discusses the texts produced after 1989 during the restoration of democracy in Central Europe that record political discourse in the media. Besides, these studies examine the cases when media give floor to non-professional speakers who do not have any contract to the particular medium. The research in political discourse points out to quite a strong tendency of the speakers in political debates to avoid relevant arguments (ad rem ideas) and replace them with false statements threatening or damaging the hearer’s face (ad hominem fallacies). Another typical feature of the political discourse (and public discourse in general) after 1989 is personalizing. Politicians utilise social network sites to create the illusion of intimacy by addressing every elector seemingly “in person”. Their communicative pseudo-strategies include discussing the topics which are normally excluded from TV channels discourses (ostracization of ethnic, religious or sexual minorities, etc.) and typically associated with stylistically marked expressions. The use of expressivity and vulgarisms in present-day public discourse is confronted with the recent history: in particular with Communist newspeak and 1960s/70s media discourse reflecting on some high-profile social and political issues, e.g., men’s long haircuts or the role of religion and church in the society. The analyses of the newspaper texts, echoing the official ideology, indicate that the regime was reluctant to admit the lack of control over such social phenomena and, consequently, label them as an “import” from behind the Iron Curtain. Two studies on expressivity and verbal aggressiveness in present-day Polish public communication set the topic into the international frame. They primarily test the assumption that the intellectual horizons of interlocutors are limited by the medium, i.e., the online environment. The research focuses on two events: first, the burning of books by J. K. Rowling and S. Meyer and of other pop-culture items organized by Polish priests that was widely discussed on Facebook; second, the anti-government protest in Prague described in the Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza in June 2019 that was commented by over 500 readers on the magazine website. The identification of specific communicative strategies confirmed that the mode of communication (the internet) influences the quality of discourse.

This article aims at studying how bullying acts, revictimization, and behaviors' targets influence responsibility judgments of witnesses bullying and determine help decision. According to the literature, help-giving has various determinants such as gravity of the bullying acts and behaviors of the perpetrators and responsibility attributed to the perpetrators and to the victims often depend on behaviors. With vignettes, we examined the influence of bullying acts, victim's prosocial or antisocial behavior at work, and revictimization on equity judgments, perceived responsibility of perpetrators and victims, and help-giving. Eight vignettes of bullying at work were submitted to 205 participants. The results showed that the situation was judged less equitable, the victim less responsible, the perpetrator more responsible, and the intention of help increased (a) when the perpetrator's acts were serious and (b) when the bullied had emitted a prosocial behavior versus an antisocial one. Workplace bullying affects millions of employees today, and the rate of occurrence as well as the severity of bullying acts in the workplace has become alarming (Einarsen, Hoel, Zapf, & Cooper, 2011). Many governments all over the world recognize workplace bullying as a serious problem, resulting in the enact-ment of legislations to combat it (Leymann & Gustafsson, 1996; Rayner & Hoel, 1997). Workplace bullying has been variously referred to as mobbing (Leymann, 1996), abuse at work (Keashly & Jagatic, 2003), or workplace harassment (Brodsky, 1976). Occupational stress research suggests that bullying is a major work-related stressor (Zapf, 1999) and has a significant impact on mental and physical health (Dehue, Bolman, V€ ollink, & Pouwelse, 2012). It could lead to extreme feelings (learned helplessness or distress) or extreme behaviors directed toward self (suicide). Often, the victims suffer for a long period of time at work without doing anything to change their current situation. Bullying was initially defined as a social interaction through which one individual (seldom more) is attacked by one or more (seldom more than four) individuals almost on a daily basis and for periods of many months, bringing the person into an almost helpless position with potentially high risk of expulsion (Leymann, 1996, p. 168). Bullying has often been explained by identifying the characteristics of bullies and victims. However, many studies have shown that both personal and organizational factors contribute to determining bullying likelihood. In order to understand the process of bullying and the reasons why victims receive so little help at work, organizational factors (climate, leadership, work overload , organizational changes) in addition to individual factors (disagreeability, narcissism, neuroticism

This study examines given and family names in Japan which violate or contravene the social norms and legal regulations of Japanese society from both a historical and contemporary perspective across diverse groups such as Christians, outcasts, spouses and radically-minded parents. The penalties for anthroponymic transgression range from judicial rejection to social ridicule and discrimination. The official system of the household family register is the principal mechanism through which Japanese names are monitored and legitimized but contemporary desires for individualism and uniqueness are starting to destabilize its function of guarding a highly conformist and ethnically collectivistic identity symbolized through a name.

Key words: judicial control of names, the Japanese household register system, unconventional anthroponomy and the law, the violation of onomastic norms

Introduction

This research focuses on how individuals seek to represent their identities on the level of their name within Japanese society and how these anthroponymic decisions can contravene and even violate the law of the land. No academic work yet exists solely dealing with this subject and it is obvious that there are many themes outlined here that have been repeatedly experienced by different groups in different societies at different times in history so that this analysis can also offer cross-cultural insights about how a state may choose to regulate or prohibit the names of its citizens and residents in order to impose its ideological agenda of nationhood and ethnocentric unification. In a society where the ideology of homogenization has been enshrined for centuries, the onomastic representation of the self in unconventional ways carries with it penalties which can lead to suspicion, rejection or ostracization. There is a firmly rooted belief in Japan that names should conform to the resources and practices which have been built up around the national onomasticon. The Japanese strongly adhere to the line of thinking espoused by the mid-5th century Athenian philosopher, Cratylus, who appears in Plato’s famous dialogue, erroneously claiming that names do not arise from social agreement but contain “a kind of inherent correctness” (Plato, 1977:11). The Japanese feel threatened by onomastic unconventionality within their own system, interpreting anthroponymic unorthodoxy as abnormal malformations, if not aberrant perversity.
Key words: judicial control of names, the Japanese household register system, unconventional anthroponomy and the law, the violation of onomastic norms

Previous studies have shown that socio-demographic factors, childhood socioeconomic status (CSES), childhood traumatic experiences (CTEs), social support and behavioral factors are associated with health and well-being in adulthood. However, the relative importance of these factors for mental health, health, and well-being has not been studied. Moreover, the mechanisms by which CTEs affect mental health, health, and well-being in adulthood are not clear. Using data from a representative sample (n = 12,981) of the adult population in Tromsø, Norway, this study examines (i) the relative contribution of structural conditions (gender, age, CSES, psychological abuse, physical abuse, and substance abuse distress) to social support and behavioral factors in adulthood; (ii) the relative contribution of socio-demographic factors, CSES, CTEs, social support, and behavioral factors to three multi-item instruments of mental health (SCL-10), health (EQ-5D), and subjective well-being (SWLS) in adulthood; (iii) the impact of CTEs on mental health, health, and well-being in adulthood, and; (iv) the mediating role of adult social support and behavioral factors in these associations. Instrumental support (24.16%, p < 0.001) explained most of the variation in mental health, while gender (21.32%, p < 0.001) explained most of the variation in health, and emotional support (23.34%, p < 0.001) explained most of the variation in well-being. Psychological abuse was relatively more important for mental health (12.13%), health (7.01%), and well-being (9.09%), as compared to physical abuse, and substance abuse distress. The subjective assessment of childhood financial conditions was relatively more important for mental health (6.02%), health (10.60%), and well-being (20.60%), as compared to mother's and father's education. CTEs were relatively more important for mental health, while, CSES was relatively more important for health and well-being. Respondents exposed to all three types of CTEs had a more than two-fold increased risk of being mentally unhealthy (RR Total Effect = 2.75, 95% CI: 2.19–3.10), an 89% increased risk of being unhealthy (RR Total Effect = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.47–1.99), and a 42% increased risk of having a low level of well-being in adulthood (RR Total Effect = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.29–1.52). Social support and behavioral factors mediate 11–18% (p < 0.01) of these effects. The study advances the theoretical understanding of how CTEs influence adult mental health, health, and well-being.

Resumen: en el contexto histórico de la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz, firmado en 2016 entre el Estado colombiano y la guerrilla FARC-EP, se analiza un caso de agresión verbal en un debate público, con posiciones radicalizadas a favor y en contra de la toma de posesión de exguerrilleros como congresistas de la República, según el acuerdo firmado. Por medio del software Elan 5.0 se realizó una transcripción selectiva focalizada en las agresiones verbales en el debate radial sostenido entre un académico y un abogado, en julio de 2018. Las categorías emergentes, a partir del análisis inductivo de la transcripción, fueron contrastadas y relacionadas con precategorías explicativas provenientes de los estudios etológicos sobre la agresión. El caso es abordado desde la perspectiva interpretativa e interdisciplinar del análisis del discurso, cuya técnica principal consiste en desmontar mecanismos discursivos generadores de sentido. Los resultados muestran que las imputaciones y los desafíos pueden interpretarse como dispositivos verbales que inducen a la transformación de la argumentación en violencia durante la disputa pública. Las conclusiones hacen énfasis en que tanto las imputaciones como los desafíos verbales tienen implicaciones políticas, en relación con la dificultad para superar el conflicto armado colombiano.

Verbal Violence in Public Debates about the Implementation of the Peace Agreement in Colombia

Abstract: In the historical context of the implementation of the Peace Agreement, signed in 2016 between Colombian State and the FARC-EP guerrilla, a case of verbal aggression is analyzed in a public debate with radicalized positions in favor of and against the signed Agreement. Using ELAN 5.0 software, selected sections of the radio debate between an academic and a lawyer which took place in July 2018 were transcribed, focusing on acts of verbal aggression. The categories emerging from the inductive analysis of the transcription are contrasted and related to explanatory precategories from ethological studies on aggression. The case is approached from an interpretive and interdisciplinary perspective of discourse analysis, whose main technique consists of dismantling discursive mechanisms that produce meaning. The results show that accusations and challenges can be interpreted as verbal mechanisms that lead to violence during public disputes. The conclusions emphasize that both the accusations and the verbal challenges have political implications in relation to the difficulty of overcoming the Colombian armed conflict. The ethology of human aggression contributes to the field of anthropological and linguistic reflection on the use of language in hostile interactions within specific sociocultural, historical and situational environments. This reflection is one that leads us to wonder about the influence, the explanatory character, and the limits of sociobiological dispositions in the development of hostile interactions, although this interpretation does not necessarily imply the adoption of a deterministic view of social behavior.

Keywords: Colombian armed conflict, discourse analysis, Peace Agreement, political discourse, public debates, verbal aggression.

Violência verbal em debates públicos sobre a implementação do Acordo de Paz na Colômbia

Resumo: no contexto histórico da implementação do Acordo de Paz, firmado em 2016 entre o Estado colombiano e as Forças Armadas Revolucionárias da Colômbia-Exército do Povo, é analisado um caso de agressão verbal em um debate político, com posicionamentos radicais a favor da tomada de posse e contra ela de ex-guerrilheiros como congressistas da República, segundo o acordo assinado. Por meio do software Elan 5.0, foi realizada uma transcrição seletiva focada nas agressões verbais no debate radial entre um acadêmico e um advogado em julho de 2018. As categorias emergentes, a partir da análise indutiva da transcrição, foram contrastadas e relacionadas com pré-categorias explicativas provenientes dos estudos etológicos sobre a agressão. O caso é abordado sob a perspectiva interpretativa e interdisciplinar da análise do discurso, cuja técnica principal consiste em desestruturar mecanismos discursivos geradores de sentido. Os resultados mostram que as imputações e os desafios podem ser interpretados como dispositivos verbais que induzem à transformação da argumentação em violência durante a disputa pública. As conclusões enfatizam que tanto as imputações quanto os desafios verbais têm implicações políticas, com relação à dificuldade para superar o conflito armado colombiano. As contribuições da etologia da agressão humana contribuem para o campo da reflexão antropológica e linguística, sobre o uso da linguagem nas interações hostis, em âmbitos socioculturais, históricos e situacionais específicos, pois conduzem a perguntar pela influência, pelo caráter explicativo e pelos limites das disposições sociobiológicas no desenvolvimento de interações hostis, embora essa interpretação não implique adotar uma visão determinista do comportamento social.
