Abstract

The article is devoted to one of the topical problems of linguistics - verbal agonality. Verbal agonality is an integral part of interpersonal communication and expresses rivalry, aiming to achieve victory by any communicative means, including psychological and/or verbal aggression. Verbal violence is common in many communicative situations and in different social groups, it can occur between people of equal or different status; it is expressed by speech acts of different stylistics. One of the ways of speech interaction, namely, the interactive way is considered discourse, since from the point of view of the communicative-pragmatic aspect, many modern linguistic concepts treat discourse as an interdisciplinary category. The semantic integrity of discourse consists of semantically structural components, one of them can be agonality. The communicative dialectic allows through agonality to express aggression, insult and other feelings as a result of communication, as well as feelings that have not received their completion, that is, they express neither agreement nor disagreement.
