Abstract

The features of mediated communication, along with those of internet language, enable cyber space to be a home for violent language, the adoption of which generally stems from the sender user’s intense emotions or malicious intentions. In accounting for the diffusion of violent language in online interaction from the perspective of cyberpragmatics and speech act theory, I deduce four major variables of violent language as target, intention, message and effect. Accordingly, the article suggests a pragmatic taxonomy of violent language in online interaction, which consists of six categories ranging from conventional violent language targeted at an individual to unconventional language which is not explicitly targeted. Analysis of the categories testifies that the use of violent language in online interaction is not confined to enemies or adversaries, but extends to people who are close to each other. In such a case, rather than ruin or undermine their relationship, violent language could maintain or even strengthen it. In addition to clarifying how to deal with internet language, the article offers some suggestions for further research.
在线互动中暴力语言的实用分类法
媒介传播的特点以及网络语言的特点使网络空间成为暴力语言的发源地,而暴力语言的使用通常源于发信用户的强烈情绪或恶意。笔者从网络语用学和言语行为理论的角度来解释暴力语言在网络互动中的传播,推导出暴力语言的四个主要变量,即目标、意图、信息和效果。据此,文章提出了网络互动中暴力语言的语用分类法,包括从针对个人的常规暴力语言到没有明确目标的非常规语言等六个类别。对这些类别的分析证明,在线互动中暴力语言的使用并不局限于敌人或对手,而是扩展到彼此关系密切的人。在这种情况下,暴力语言非但不会破坏或损害他们之间的关系,反而可以维持甚至加强这种关系。除了阐明如何处理网络语言外,文章还为进一步研究提出了一些建议。
