The language of politics between hate speech and hate crimes

This paper aims at stressing tension and interactions between these three definitions of hate speech in relation hate crimes. In particular, the paper investigates the tangible significance of fear and violence originated from hatred. The applied methodology is Politolinguistk. This neologism, coined by Armin Burkhardt in 1996, identifies a particular area of analysis between linguistic and political science. At the basis of this method are Johan Searle’s studies on the distinction between method and scope of analysis. Following this argument, the analysis focuses on the impact that stereotypes and prejudices have on the spread of hatred on a social level, in some cases legitimized by politics.

L'articolo, valendosi della metodologia di indagine critica nota come "politolinguistica", tratta del rapporto fra il linguaggi d'odio come mezzo di veicolazione che sfocia, in molti, casi in azioni di crimine.
