Influence of the Internet discourse features on implementation of the offense strategy

Abstract

In this article we present an analysis of how features of the Internet as a type of virtual world, where asynchronous discursive practices are conducted, influence the implementation of the offense strategy within the Internet. Among such features we single out anonymity; absence of prosody as well as impossibility of adequate approximations of paralinguistic interaction indicators inherent to face-to-face communication; moderation of sites; we consider the phenomenon of creolization as well as hypertext as essential textual characteristics.
