HATE SPEECH MARKERS IN INTERNET COMMENTS TO TRANSLATED ARTICLES FROM POLISH MEDIA
The article focuses on the discourse features of Internet comments (further IС) on Polish media articles translated into Russian language and placed on the website Inosmi.ru. The main communicative purpose of the commenting utterances is to express an emotional attitude to Poland as historical and geopolitical subject, and to the Polish nation as the carrier of a certain type of mentality. Prevailing negative assessments of Poland and Poles evolve from interaction of the incentives found in the articles with the already existing attitude to the Russian-Polish relationship. Under the pressure of presupposition the primary text is considered by readers only as an additional confirmation that the views formed before are fair and in these terms the primary text works as a trigger enhancing the emotionality of negative utterances. The set of the linguistic means used with the aim of expressing the opinion on Poland and Poles forms an aggressive, invective discourse. The main markers of verbal aggression are metaphorical means and expressional ethnophaulisms, the large part of which is formed by the commentators as a result of language game act. The invented words discredit the subject of discussion, add the illocutionary purpose of intended insult and become a constant part of markers of speech hatred on this Internet segment.
