Abstract:

This article is devoted to the problem of the manifestation of verbal aggression in universities mass media and educational communication in the form of a systemically formed radicalized discourse. The purpose of the article is to reveal the communicative potential and speech content of radicalized discourse texts.

The tasks that were solved by the author: a discourse description of the textual content of aggressive content on the universities social networks was given, an analysis of typical linguistic behavior on the Web with signs of verbal aggression and deviation was made, examples from psychological practice were presented, features of radicalized discourse were described, and its definition was given. To solve the tasks set, the methods of complex psycho-linguistic and communicative analysis, content and intent analysis, conceptual analysis, stylistic and pragmatic analyzes, discourse analysis, etc. were used.

The author analyzes the discourse as a means of speech impact on the addressee and a means of escalating social conflict; shares examples of online radicalized university dialogues. An attempt to analyze cognitive-psychological and communicative-social phenomena through the level of language transformations (an interdisciplinary approach, the synergy of humanitarian knowledge) has been made. The author proposes to single out the following types of radicalized discourse - criminogenic and non-criminogenic, texts of horizontal reaction and texts of vertical purposeful influence. An important feature of the study is that the author goes to the level of theoretical generalizations and tries to define radicalized discourse, to present its essential, functional and structural characteristics. The results of the study are important for the prevention of radicalization at the level of communicative network practices within the educational environment.

Methods for preventing the radicalization of students are proposed, which can be used by teachers, tutors and teachers.
