Abstract:
The relevance of the study is due to the interest of modern linguistics to the speech of ordinary person. The article represents a short review of foreign and Ukrainian scholars’ investigations dedicated to the invectiveness. The sources of the invectiveness and reasons for using invectives are found out. The invectiveness is the property of words to acquire additional semantic and pragmatic connotations, which are intended to offend the interlocutor. Invectives and swearing in general are verbal violations of the prohibition that exist in some social group. The main functions of invective vocabulary are verbalization of aggression in a conflict situation; reduction of emotional stress; filling pauses during speech; setting social distance social distance. Attention is paid to the features of functioning of invectives in a modern media environment, in particular child and teenage one. The influence of vocabulary with invective semantics on the consciousness of the recipient is substantiated. A survey within the research topic was conducted to identify users' attitudes to media content that contains invective vocabulary. Attached to the survey video is a fragment from the cartoon “Bender's Game”. The results of the survey indicate ambiguous perception of content with invectives, lack of a single strategy for the selection and control of children's content among parents. According to the answers received, 3 types of attitudes to invective vocabulary can be distinguished: negative (taboo and avoiding invective vocabulary in real life and information space); neutral (the use of invectives in life and virtual space is determined by situation and has a goal); positive (extensive use of invectives, their perception as a means of expressing speech, part of everyday vocabulary). Further research of invectives and specifics of their verbalization will establish the influence of content on the language personality and define the connection between a person's communicative behavior and his information space.

Abstract:
The pragmatic orientation of invective is the use of neutral commonly used concepts, which under the condition of a communicative act are transformed into expressive symbols that acquire emotionality, humility, comedy, jokes, insults. In this way, the speaker does not think what to say, his goal is how to say, with what feelings. The use of invective does not imply the presence of education, intelligence, sphere of activity, as the addressee is separated from the addressee by expression, connotation, joke, contempt, contempt, outrageousness, etc.Observations of modern postmodern texts convincingly show that today speech and written texts are signifi cantly infl uenced by oral speech. Analyzing the speech of contemporary Ukrainian literary texts, we conclude that the source of stylistically reduced, in particular non-normative vocabulary, is both collo-quial literature and colloquial non-literary vocabulary.Non-normative units function with diff erent degrees of frequency – colloquial vocabulary, invectives predominate, slang and spatial elements, slang show the lowest frequency. The most important function of invective is its use as a tool to combat the opponent, in particular in confl ict discourse. From this general function follow such private varieties as accusation, discrediting, humiliation, demoraliza-tion of the opponent. Moreover, normative tokens can act as an invective if they are used to humiliate the opponent or give his image a negative characterization.In terms of linguistic expression, as we observe, there are the following types of invectives: abusive invectives, invective labels, ironic invectives. The loose-ness, ease and irregularity of everyday speech leaves its mark on the design of statements, which is refl ected in the selection and use of invective. Non-verbal design also plays an important role in creating a pejoratively colored text with pejoratives. The study of these tools is quite promising.

Abstract:
Invective is the critical, unmitigated, non-euphemistic and non-attenuating manner of casting aspersion on a recipient. While invective is generally considered a base, undesirable form of expression, its potential as the most direct form of satire has equally been acknowledged in certain contexts such as music genre. The deployment of invective as a tool of satirical criticism is axiomatic in Fela’s songs. This study is concerned with the pragmatic interpretation of Fela’s penchant to use invectives as a satirical tool to lampoon the government, and also with the potential of invective as an aesthetic form. Some pragmatic tools subsumed in a modified theoretical framework of Mey’s (2001) “Pragmatic Act Theory”, Brown and Levinson’s (1987) “Politeness Principles”, and the canonical classifications of context are used to analyse purposively selected Fela’s songs viz., Sorrow, Tears and Blood and Shuffering and Shmiling. Findings from the analysis indicate that Fela overtly uses some high pejorative invectives as a direct-derogatory attack on the government as a result of the latter’s bad policies. Results from the analysis indicated that Assertive, Expressive, and Directive are the kinds of instantiated pragmatic acts performed in the selected songs. These acts reflect the subject matters of the songs. Similarly, two types of face acts were identified in the data: face threatening without redress and face threatening act using off-record politeness strategies. These show that Fela does not mitigate the propositional contents of the message in his songs. In other respects, context is pivotal in helping readers understand the physical, sociocultural, psychological and linguistic scaffolds underpinning each song. The researcher concludes that the aesthetics of invective yields a multiplicity of analytical possibilities and more so, that the pragmatic analysis of songs is enriching, and can give important insights into how language is deployed in music lyrics.

This paper addresses the use of invectives in modern Ghanaian politics. Evidence is drawn from public speeches of political activists of the two leading parties of the country, namely: the National Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The paper analyses at the context as well, i.e. the participants involved, the reaction of the public, and tries to answer the question what makes a public speech or utterance an invective. It also considers some pragmatic effects of such invectives in the over all development of the country and the need for reconciliation.

Abstract:
Invective is a woman. Sociolinguistic determinants of verbal aggressiveness on protest signs from the 2020 Women’s Strike protests in Poland. The article provides an outline of the sociolinguistic, cultural and linguistic determinants of the use of colloquialisms in the modern Polish language. 37 protest signs from the 2020 Women’s Strike in Poland with an invective meaning semantically related to specific people and organizations were analyzed. In order to analyze the similarities and differences between the presented examples, the semantic field method was used. Based on the specific characteristics of the analyzed expressions, 13 semantic microfields were distinguished. The innovativeness of the study consists in looking at the invective not only as an example of using verbal aggressiveness, but also as a peculiar wordplay which, paradoxically, may facilitate communication and relieve tension.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper deals with the so-called ‘Flugschrift’ (i. e. pamphlet) as a specific medial arrangement resp. form of communication in early modern age, which not only allowed a wide and rapid spread of popular texts, but also provided increased opportunities for follow-on communications and interactive debate. Interactivity is an essential dimension of invective communication. It is argued that the ‘Flugschriften’ afforded the escalative dynamics of invective, which shaped the early modern public sphere. These dynamics entailed furthermore distinctive connections and transformations of visual and rhetorical genres and practices in pamphlet literature. These correlations will be demonstrated by the examples of the Reuchlin-Pfefferkorn debate and Luthers invectives against the papal bull ‘Exsurge Domine’.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo oferecer a primeira tradução para o português da obra latina Invective contra Medicum, de Francesco Petrarca, acompanhada de comentários, de um estudo sobre o texto, e de dois anexos que compreendem a tradução do prefácio escrito pelo então bispo de Paris, Etienne Tempier, ao Sílabo condenatório de 1277, e a tradução dos artigos referidos por Petrarca nestas Invectivas. O estudo introdutório, intitulado O homem e o cão, propõe uma interpretação da construção ética da personagem do médico e, conseqüentemente, do próprio ethos do poeta, definido em oposição ao caráter do seu adversário. A partir da caracterização do médico, Petrarca combate o aristotelismo dos mestres de artes de Paris, reafirma o valor de uma sabedoria moral cristã, fundada num costume filosófico que define a filosofia como meditação sobre a morte, e estabelece a si mesmo como modelo de virtude
Abstract: This research intends to offer the first Portuguese translation of Francesco Petrarch¿s Latin work Invective contra medicum, followed by notes from a study about the text, and two appendices that comprise the translation of the preface written by the Paris¿ bishop at the time, Etienne Tempier, to the Condemnation Syllabus of 1277, and the translation of some articles mentioned by Petrarch in these invectives. The introductory study, named The man and the dog, proposes an interpretation of the physician¿s ethical construction and, consequently, of the poet¿s ethos itself, defined in opposition to his adversary¿s character. From the physician¿s characterization, Petrarch attacks the aristotelism of the art masters of Paris, restates the value of a Christian moral wisdom founded on a philosophical usage of defining philosophy as meditation about death, and establishes himself as a virtue model

Abstract:
Recent discussions of Cicero’s In Pisonem have approached the functioning of invective in the speech mainly in terms of the orator’s ability to fashion rhetorical weapons from the audience’s social biases and, consequently, have focused on evidence of his success in injuring his opponent’s reputation and dignity. That Piso, his opponent, had an equal opportunity and success in fighting back against Cicero’s attacks is, as I will argue, a crucial factor in determining the possible outcomes of this contest. I argue that when the In Pisonem is viewed as a 'character contest', the conflict between Piso and Cicero appears to have been both unavoidable and yet inconclusive, despite evidence of Cicero's victory in the speech itself. While Cicero's attack on Piso displays superior rhetorical skill, humour and poise, the fact that Piso responded to the publication of the In Pisonem by publishing his own speech demonstrates that he was able to continue his side of the battle beyond Cicero's apparent victory. Although Cicero can claim a victory as the 'manifest outcome' of the Senate debate, it is clear that 'interpretological outcomes' came into play on both sides. Piso's persistence in the quarrel permits him a secondary claim to victory when Cicero, believing he has already won, decides not to respond. Comparison with Cicero's handling of Clodius' victory in the Bona Dea scandal, reinforces the importance of interpretation in determining the outcomes of invective contests. Win or lose, Roman orators will put the best face on their performance and emerge relatively unscathed from the 'character contests' in which their careers seem to hang in the balance. Piso's success in the conflict is seen as well in his continuation as Caesar's father-in-law, a role that Cicero clearly attempted to put in jeopardy in his attack. In this regard, Goffman's account of 'character contest' proves a reliable guide to understanding the grey areas which obscure the outcome of the conflict.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho tem por objetivos: em primeiro lugar, arrolar, traduzir e analisar epigramas de Marcial em que a mulher é objeto de invectiva; em segundo lugar, visa a rastrear, na tradição anterior ao poeta, o tema da misoginia, desde Hesíodo, no célebre episódio de Pandora (Teogonia, vv. 570- 612), passando pelos poetas iâmbicos arcaicos (Arquíloco, Hipônax e Semônides), até o uso que poetas latinos, como Catulo, Horácio e Juvenal, fizeram do tema, entendido agora como tópos. Em terceiro lugar, o presente trabalho pretende observar de que maneira o epigrama, ou melhor, sua possibilidade invectiva, se apropriou da misoginia, adequando-a às características principais do gênero, a saber, brevidade e agudeza, e, finalmente, tentar demonstrar que o vitupério a mulheres em Marcial é regulado e percebido mediante práticas retóricas (como os progymnásmata) e alguns trópoi (como a écfrase), que à época do poeta participavam da formação educacional do cidadão. Nesse sentido, pretendemos estudar particularmente as relações que a invectiva mantém, nos epigramas de Marcial, com a construção de imagens viciosas de mulher e suas relações com o gênero epidítico.
The aims of the present work are first, to list, translate and analyse Martial\'s epigrams in which women are the object of invective; second, to try to investigate, in the former tradition, the theme of misogyny, both in Greece (from Hesiod, in the celebrated episode of Pandora (Teogony, vv. 570-612), to the archaic iambic poets, Archilochus, Hipponax and Semonides), and in Rome (how misogyny, as a tópos, is treatead by Catullus, Horace and Juvenal). In the third place, the present research intends to study in what manner epigram, or more precisely, its vituperative possibility, appropriated the theme of misogyny, adapting it to the main characteristics of the genre, such as conciseness and acuteness. Finally, we attempt to demonstrate that the vituperation against women, in Martial, is regulated and perceived through various rhetorical practices (such as the progymnásmata) and trópoi (such as ekphrasis) that at the poet\'s time were an important part of the citizen\'s education. Therein, we intend to study, in particular, the analogies that the invective maintain, in Martial\'s epigrams, non only with the construction of images in which women are corrupted, but also with the relationship between these images and the epidictic genre.

Abstract:
The study explores the practice, meaning and significance of invective and insults in political discourse among Ghanaians. It examines the use of such language forms against people of higher social status in online discourse in Ghana, a country where it is traditionally unacceptable to openly criticize the elderly and authority figures, let alone insult them. Data was sourced from GhanaWeb [www.ghanaweb.com], the most patronized online news website in Ghana that ensures anonymous citizen participation in issues of national interest. The data involved invective and insult-filled online reader comments on news reports about the presidential candidates and the electoral commissioner involved in the 2016 general election in Ghana. Metapragmatic comments (reader reactions) which portray Ghanaian sociocultural perspectives on the use of abusive language against these individuals were also gathered. These two sets of comments were used to build the Corpus of GhanaWeb Comments on Ghana’s 2016 Election (CGCGE16). In addition to CGCGE16, the data for the study included comments from social media platforms, native speakers’ intuitions and the views of Ghanaian anthropological linguists and cultural specialists obtained from interviews, and evidence from scholarly works. The qualitative meaning analysis method is used along with the quantitative discourse analysis method. The study adopts an ethnopragmatic approach, combining corpus-based searches with semantic explications and cultural scripts, following the principles of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach (Wierzbicka, 1992, 1996; Goddard & Wierzbicka, 2014). The findings indicate that most of the comments in CGCGE16 are personal attacks that violate the Ghanaian communicative norms towards the elderly and people in authority and, furthermore, do not conform to the expected displays of verbal respect. Instead of expressing their views on on-going socio-political issues, the commenters often draw on past socio-political occurrences, their public and sociocultural knowledge to engage in negative emotional characterizations and evaluations of the presidential candidates and the electoral commissioner, thereby, showing disapproval of them. By means of name-calling expressions, derogatory adjectives, and derogatory interjections, these commenters attack the intellectual abilities, moral behaviour, social competence, and physical characteristics of their targets. This negative communicative behaviour is attributed to the fact that on GhanaWeb, like on many online communities, interactants are not obliged to uphold communicative norms. The anonymity of GhanaWeb shields commenters from the repercussions such speech behaviours would otherwise necessitate. It is also attributed to the right to freedom of speech, the repeal of the criminal libel law, and the fact that traditionally, there are some specific settings that allow the use of insults against authority. The study demonstrates that although the practice of using insults against political leaders in online commentary appears to be “normal” in the online context, it is a transgression when one considers the Ghanaian sociocultural norms of communication. Consistent with this, although the interaction on GhanaWeb is asynchronous, some commenters play the role of regulatory figures and traditional gatekeepers of appropriate communicative behaviour by posting disapproving metapragmatic comments. The study identifies many ways in which interactions on GhanaWeb are culturally shaped. These include first, commenters do not only rely on English slang terms and swearwords, they also employ some local language insulting expressions (e.g. kwasea ‘fool’, yaka gbɔmɔ ‘worthless person’) due to the ‘weight’ such expressions carry for Ghanaians. Secondly, the metapragmatic comments do not employ certain key terms such as “offensiveness” that can be found in the literature on online studies related to the speakers of Inner Circle Englishes. Instead, they highlight the clear position of the Ghanaian culture on respect for elders and people in authority. These metapragmatic comments also stress the fact that the exchange of invective and insults in politics can result in violence which may have adverse effects on the development of the nation. Overall, the study is inclined towards the view that instead of generalizing the results of studies on abusive language use in online interactions, there is a need to draw out what distinguishes Ghanaian online interactants from, let’s say, Western countries, Asian countries, African countries, or from interactants elsewhere. The key claim is that understanding the sociocultural backdrop for the speech practices of online interactants is crucial to understanding their language use, as interactants draw on existing communicative repertoires which influence their language choices. Also, the study draws attention to news websites in Ghana as a platform where the use of unmitigated invective and insults against people of higher social status is increasingly becoming the norm, despite the fact it violates Ghanaian communicative values. Thus, this study serves as a springboard for future research into abusive language use in online interactions among Ghanaians.

Cleary, Nicole. "Jerome on the attack : constructing a polemical persona." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/10661.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that Jerome’s polemics against Helvidius, Jovinian, and Vigilantius were tailored to boost Jerome’s status within the Christian community, and were carefully constructed pieces of abusive rhetoric, rather than the result of his famed curmudgeonly character. These treatises are studied in light of both the ancient rhetorical tradition within which Jerome was trained, and modern theories of abusive rhetoric. This thesis is demonstrated in six chapters. Chapter 1 demonstrates that past scholarship focused on ‘Jerome the man’, his self-invention, and his academic and spiritual qualities, without giving adequate attention to how Jerome used these qualities in his compositions. Chapter 2 focuses on ancient and modern theories of rhetoric in order to set out a methodology of abusive rhetoric that highlights Burkean identification. In addition, this chapter studies how rhetoric can define and challenge social hierarchies. Chapter 3 discusses Jerome’s awareness of social standing through discussion of his interactions with three of his contemporaries: Augustine, Rufinus, and Ambrose. It examines how Jerome altered his rhetoric to reflect his perception of the relative social status of his correspondents. Part 2 studies three of Jerome’s treatises in light of the conclusion of Part 1. Chapter 4 analyzes Jerome’s Adversus Helvidium, and argues that Jerome’s rhetoric serves to contrast himself with Helvidius, whose heretical, fame-seeking character illuminates Jerome as a humble and conservative Christian. It argues that Jerome’s rhetoric in this treatise aimed for episcopal authority. Chapter 5 studies Jerome’s Adversus Iovinianum and argues that the polemic sought to extend Jerome’s views on asceticism to a wider audience, and potentially secure favor for himself following his expulsion from Rome. He presents Jovinian as a deceptive sinner with a dissolute lifestyle, and himself as an authoritative savior. Although Jerome attempted to connect to the elite in the Christian community, his tract was a failure due to an inability to identify successfully with the audience on the topic of virginity. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses Jerome’s Contra Vigilantium. Jerome presents Vigilantius as a boorish Gallic innkeeper, in contrast to himself as an urbane, albeit snobbish, orthodox Christian. Jerome’s rhetoric carefully identifies himself with upper class Christians, as well as the Emperor, apostles, and martyrs, thereby claiming their agreement with his view of orthodoxy. In sum, I argue that Jerome’s rhetoric served to construct a polemical persona that he attempted to use to further his Christian career, and shape his own image. While this was not entirely successful in his own day, Jerome’s rhetoric did ultimately succeed in crafting an image of himself as an orthodox and authoritative father of the Church.

My dissertation examines the ethical engagement of political invective poetry in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Italy. Modern criticism tends to treat medieval invective as a playfully subversive but marginal poetic game with minimal ethical weight. Instead, I aim to restore these poetic productions to their original context: the history, law, and custom of Tuscan cities. This contexts allows me to explore how humor and fury, in the denunciation of political enemies, interact to establish not a game but an ethics of invective. I treat ethics as both theoretical and practical, referring to Aristotle, Cicero, and Brunetto Latini, and define ethics as the pursuit of the common good in a defined community. Chapter I introduces the corpus, its historical and cultural background, its critical reception, and my approach. Chapter II discusses medieval invective in Tuscany and surveys the cultural practice of invective writing. Chapter III approaches invectives written by Rustico Filippi during the Guelph and Ghibelline wars. Chapter IV explores invectives by Cecco Angiolieri set in Siena, which polemicize with the Sienese government and citizenry. Chapter V examines invectives in Dante's Commedia (Inf. 19, Purg. 6, and Par. 27), focusing on his unexpected humor and his critique of the papacy, the empire, and Italian city governments. My conclusion examines the ethical function of slanderous wit in wartime invective. These poems balance verbal aggression with humor, claiming a role for laughter in creating dialogue within conflict. Far from a stylistic or ludic exercise, each invective shows the poet's activism and ethical engagement. This dissertation includes previously published material.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho busca construir algumas hipóteses sobre os possíveis sentidos propostos pela figuração da forma geométrica na imagem gótica, sob a forma posta por um estudo de caso manifesto como objeto de análise. Na invectiva das nossas investigações admite-se o entendimento que nenhuma das conclusões são determinantes, mas sim, se somam de maneira escalar e dialética, compondo os seus mais diversos desdobramentos e não buscam edificar nenhuma teoria essencialmente formalizante.

Abstract:
‚e article attempts to understand the Renaissance characteristics of rhetoric as a discipline of education, developed by the humanist of the XIV century Petrarch. ‚e main materials are letters, dialogues, invectives of the 1350s. It turned out that the humanist draws a “contextual vertical” of humanitarian education. In disputes with the scholastic physician, Petrarch defends the paramount importance of education and “healing of souls” with rhetoric. A powerful didactics is embedded in the dialogue De eloquentia.
