- Abstract
-
This article provides a theoretical and practical analysis of the linguistic features of conflicts arising in virtual communication environments (social networks, forums, messengers). It highlights the causes of conflicts, their linguistic indicators, developmental stages, and mitigation strategies. Additionally, it explains how the format of online communication and its supplementary tools (paratext), in contrast to face-to-face conversations, influence the emergence of conflicts.
