“…Another well‐known phenomenon associated with the cultural specificity of insults is that whereas some insults seem to be universal—for example, reference to genitals—other types of insults are clearly culture specific. For example, the reference to an illness—for example, cancer sufferer—is considered an insult particularly in the Netherlands, while a reference to the devil or Satan is particularly insulting in Scandinavian countries (van Oudenhoven et al., ).…”

“…One universal function of insults is that they communicate perceived violations of important general and normative values (van Oudenhoven et al., ). Insults thus convey important contextual information about which norms have been transgressed and which values are at stake.…”

“…This knowledge is especially relevant to multicultural societies where different cultural value systems coexist. Unfortunately, research investigating the link between verbal abuse, social evaluations, and culture is scarce or refers to very general distinctions such as individualism versus collectivism (Semin & Rubini, ) or ethnicity‐based linguistic preferences (De Raad, van Oudenhoven, & Hofstede, ; van Oudenhoven et al., ).…”

“…In our studies, we assess both dimensions of morality and competence after an insult because they are crucial parts of social judgment formation and relevant to the concept of insults (Bond & Venus, ). For example, previous research has demonstrated that insults can address both immorality and incompetence in many cultures (e.g., stupidity and physical disabilities, see also Semin & Rubini, ; van Oudenhoven et al., ). In a similar vein, insults to both immorality and incompetence are considered offensive to some extent, irrespective of cultural background (Rodriguez Mosquera et al., ).…”

In two studies, we examined honor‐related differences in morality versus competence evaluations as a way to tap into social judgment formation after an insult. In Study 1, we distinguished between high‐honor and low‐honor cultures. Participants' evaluations of a norm transgressor were gathered. Results indicated that high‐honor participants devalued the transgressor more strongly in terms of morality than competence in comparison with low‐honor participants. In Study 2, we distinguished between participants with high‐ and low‐honor values and investigated morality and competence in self‐perception. Participants were asked to respond to different types of insults gathered in Study 1. High‐honor participants were primarily harmed in their morality after being insulted, while this prominence was less apparent in low‐honor participants. Both studies showed that those who value honor highly moralize insults to a greater extent, because they take more offense to them.

An insult is one of the cases of verbal aggression and undoubtedly it is an everyday life phenomenon. Insulting is a display of direct aggression which arises from anger and aims at the effect on the recipient's mind. the act of abuse on the other hand, is conditioned by multiple factors. Its success depends, for example, on the knowledge of culture to which the recipient of an insult belongs. Despite the fact that an insult is a cultural phenomenon, i.e. dependent on a particular culture, the mechanism of abuse itself is identical in the entire world. Generally, way it is possible to determine a list of universal human disabilities which are subject to insults as well as a universal list of topic areas of insulting expressions. La expresión de emociones mediante los recursos lingüísticos es un fenómeno muy frecuente en la comunicación humana. Como ya observó Charles Bally, el emisor habitualmente tiñe sus enunciados con elementos afectivos (Bally, 1966, p. 52). ExPrESióN EMoCioNAlEs verdad que la manifestación de las emociones ocurre tan sólo en parte pequeña en el plano lingüístico, y el lenguaje no es el código más importante que desempeña esta función (Grabias, 1981, p. 17). tenemos que ser conscientes de que alrededor del 55% de la información la aportan las experiencias corporales, como gestos convencionales, mímica, aspecto físico y comportamiento, denominados comúnmente "lenguaje de cuerpo"; un 37% de la información es proporcionado por la voz, el tono y la acentuación; y tan sólo un 8% por la palabra (Nowakowska-Kempna, 2000, p. 75).1 El punto de partida para el presente trabajo lo constituyen algunas de las refl exiones de nuestra tesis doctoral entitulada La expresión de las emociones en el chat hispano mediante los recursos lingüísticos, presentada en el Departamento de filologías de la universidad de Łódź en el mayo de 2007.
