“Ma stai zitta cagna che non sei nessuno!” Un’indagine linguistica sulle pratiche di hate speech e di cyberbullismo

Abstract

The insult represents a complex linguistic phenomenon since it concerns a vast constellation of lexemes, syntagmas, and sentences used with a derogatory intention, both in a playful and offensive. Starting from a terminological analysis related to the dimension of insult, the contribution will discuss the results of a linguistic-educational investigation on hate speech and cyberbullying practices.
