Abgrenzungskriterien im Bereich der Pejorativa: bedeutungsstruktureller und pragmalinguistischer Aspekt
Criteria for delimitation in the field of pejoratives: structural-semantic and pragmalinguistic aspect

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses delimitations in the field of pejoratives on various levels. The scope of consideration is continuously extended: from delimitations on the paradigmatic level (on the basis of the structure of meaning and lexical features), to demarcations on the pragmalinguistic level (demarcations among aggressive speech acts, intentions), and finally to the differentiation of the terms “verbal aggression” and “verbal violence”. Empirical basis: written and oral surveys of 700 Viennese, conducted in 2006–2008 and 2014–2016. Methods: component analysis, lexical-semantic, descriptive, and contextual analysis.
