This book addresses the lack of research on harassment by offering a thorough linguistic analysis of the social phenomenon. By applying interactional pragmatics, the author sheds light on the key elements of harassment, which includes hostile and unethical communication, malicious intentions, power imbalance, and harm caused to the victim.
