This open access book reports on research carried out as part of
the European Union co-funded C.O.N.T.A.C.T. project which targeted
hate speech and hate crime across a number of EU member states. It
showcases the bearing that discourse analytic research can have on
our understanding of this phenomenon that is a growing global cause
for concern. Although 'hate speech' is often incorporated in legal
and policy documents, there is no universally accepted definition,
which in itself warrants research into how hatred is both expressed
and perceived. The research project synthesises discourse analytic
and corpus linguistics techniques, and presents its key findings
here. The focus is especially on online comments posted in reaction
to news items that could trigger discrimination, as well as on the
folk perception of online hate speech as revealed through
semi-structured interviews with young individuals across the
various partner countries.
