Aggressive speech tactics in the sports discourse of football fans (based on the Chinese-language and Russian-language Internet)

The purpose of the study is to identify aggressive speech tactics in the sports discourse of football fans, as well as to determine their linguistic explication based on scientific articles from online versions of Chinese publications. In the article, using the example of statements by researchers of Chinese linguoculture taken from online articles, the means of implementing verbal aggression in the discourse of Chinese football fans are studied. Lexical representation of metaphorical understanding of human appearance through animalistic images in a comparative aspect. The authors present a scientific comparative linguistic study of social and cultural factors of verbal aggression from the standpoint of sciences studying human behavior and mental processes, which also provides an opportunity to systematize the features of socio-cultural processes in the light of support for culture as a whole. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the consideration of the means of hidden and overt manifestations of speech verbal aggression in the discourse of subcultures of Chinese football fans. As a result of the study, it was established that verbal aggression in the discourse of football fans is carried out implicitly and explicitly to implement an intentional and unintentional perlocutionary effect. Speech aggression of representatives of the subcultural group of football fans is a priori diverse. The ambiguous nature of its manifestation gives rise to a plurality of forms of aggressive expressions. A prospect for further research in this area is the comparison of linguistic markers and tactics of verbal aggression in different languages (for example, Russian and Chinese), identifying the specific features characteristic of representatives of these linguacultural communities.
