Abstract

The article presents the phenomenon of aggression in pragmalinguistic terms. Communicative discourses expressing aggression have been discussed in the context of a concrete discourse including the following factors: mutual communicative relations between “addresser – addressee”; the use of specific linguistic means in a specific communicative discourse; the addresser’s initial position: aims, objectives, emotions; the results of utterance’s impact, etc. The presence of linguistic aggression has been found in all types of communication: interpersonal, mass and institutional.
