“…La maggior parte degli studi condotti sulla minaccia hanno diviso l'atto in due classi: minacce dirette e minacce indirette. Tra cui ricordiamo: − Sadiq Mahdi e Jasim Abbas (2015): hanno condotto un'analisi contrastiva tra gli atti di minaccia in inglese e in arabo con esempi estratti dal Sacro Corano; − Probst et al (2018): hanno affrontato gli atti di minaccia nel discorso conflittuale, più specificamente in quattro film russi; − Ali (2019): ha svolto uno studio sugli atti di minaccia indiretta e la loro incomprensione da parte dei libici, con dati raccolti mediante un questionario scritto (Discourse Completion Test); − Christensen (2019): ha affrontato gli atti di minaccia nel linguaggio del crimine.…”

Questo contributo si prefigge di analizzare in un’ottica pragmatica gli atti di minaccia in sei commedie di Peppino De Filippo: Spacca il centesimo, Una persona fidata, La lettera di mammà, Le metamorfosi di un suonatore ambulante, Un suicidio collettivo e Tre poveri in campagna. Consultando la letteratura, ci siamo resi conto che non esistono studi italiani che indagano gli atti di minaccia né nel teatro né in un altro corpus, almeno per quanto è a nostra conoscenza. Questo contributo assume, quindi, un carattere esplorativo e si pone l’obiettivo di svelare le minacce nascoste nelle espressioni verbali e nei modi di fare dei personaggi delle commedie di Peppino De Filippo. Anche nelle frasi che non fanno subito pensare alla minaccia, si possono riscontrare elementi che non ne prescindono. Inoltre, viene calcolata la frequenza della distribuzione degli atti di minaccia a seconda della categoria diretta/indiretta e del sesso degli interlocutori per sapere se esistano differenze di comportamento tra i personaggi maschili e femminili nella minaccia. Nella conclusione si evidenziano i risultati della ricerca. The Speech Act of Threatening in the theater of Peppino De Filippo. Pragmatic study This contribution tends to analyze from a pragmatic perspective the Speech Act of Threatening in six comedies by Peppino De Filippo, which are Spacca il centesimo, Una persona fidata, La lettera di mammà, Le metamorfosi di un suonatore ambulante, Un suicidio collettivo and Tre poveri in campagna. Consulting the literature, we realized that there are no Italian studies investigating the Speech Act of Threatening either in the theater or in any other corpus, at least to the best of our knowledge. This contribution, therefore, takes on an exploratory character and aims to reveal the threats hidden in the verbal expressions and mannerisms of the characters in Peppino De Filippo's comedies. Even in phrases that do not immediately suggest threat, we can find elements that do not disregard it. In addition, we will calculate the frequency of the distribution of threatening acts according to the direct/indirect category and according to the gender of the interlocutors in order to find out whether there are differences in threatening behavior between male and female characters. The conclusion will highlight the results of the contribution.

“…Many studies have been conducted to investigate different speech acts, such as warning (e.g., Simona and Dejica-Cartisa 2015;Bauler 2018), requests (Leopold 2015;Christensen 2017;Al Shboul 2020), threats (e.g., Benoit 1983Barish, 1991;Salgueiro 2010;Walton 2014;Probst et al 2018), apologies (e.g., Bataineh and Bataineh 2008), disagreements (e.g., Hamdan and Mahadin 2021) and also speech acts in political contexts (e.g., Loko 2018). They have examined the use of speech acts in different genres, including everyday interactions and media.…”

This paper investigates the speech act of making threats among native speakers of Jordanian Arabic (JA) and American English (AE). It explores new threat strategies used by Jordanian and American speakers and their pragmatic functions to construct an analytical framework for analyzing this act across cultures. The data for this study were collected using an open-ended questionnaire. This questionnaire consists of ten imaginary situations drawn from real life. The data were analyzed using chi-square tests (value <0.05) to determine whether the difference between the two groups for each threat strategy was statistically significant. The subjects of Jordanian Arabic included 40 male participants and 40 female participants from three universities in Irbid district while the American subjects included 15 male participants and 15 female participants from the University of Illinois in the United States. Five threat strategies were identified. Four of which were shared between the two groups: Telling Authority, Committing Harm, Introducing Options and Warning. However, Promise of Vague Consequence was confined to JA speakers. The study also found that JA speakers tended to be less direct than their AE counterparts.

The topicality of the research is justified by intensification of distractive communication between Internet users and by lack of understanding how to regulate such speech behavior, as the social function of internet-mediated communicative environment is still undetermined. The paper explores communicative features of threats-punishments and threats-warnings verbalized through written communication mediated by gadgets with access to the Internet. The aim of the research is to define the perlocutionary effect produced by verbalized threats based on written communication. Threats are understood as utterances containing a message about harmful consequences of the action of a threat sender towards a recipient of the threat if he or she will or will not do some action demanded in the threat. Verbalization means that threat is articulated in speech communication and realized in verbal form. The research hypothesis is tested on the basis of 68 threatening messages in the Russian language retrieved from contexts of speech communication in internet-messengers and on social network sites. We prove that the addresser (threatening person) verbalizes treats mostly in the form of punishments describing possible damage to the addressee’s (recipient’s) life and or health. We found out that threatening speech acts verbalized on the Internet are mostly similar in form and content to those realized in face-to-face communication. However, Internet threats are mostly determined as a reflection of emotional-modal state of the addresser in response to the actions of the addressee. Men are more active in the verbalization of threats-punishments, whereas women verbalize more threats-warnings. People tend to protect themselves by ignoring threats addressed to them. The obtained results clarify the idea of Internet-threat as affected speech behavior, the regulation of which is impossible within the framework of the existing legislation; therefore it is necessary to develop a criteria base consistent with public morality, with the participation of expert and academic communities and technological companies.
