The paper defines the notion of acid communication as a kind of communicative act aimed at aggressing a Target, towards whom the Sender has feelings of envy, injustice, or rancor, but at doing so in an indirect and partly covert way, due to one’s lack of power. The work proposes an account for why a person is acid, and illustrates the typical devices of acid communication, like creative language, use of indirectness and rhetorical figures, speech acts of criticism, specification, allusion and insinuation.

Abstract

The paper defines the notion of acid communication as a kind of communicative act aimed at aggressing a Target, towards whom the Sender has feelings of envy, injustice, or rancor, but at doing so in an indirect and partly covert way, due to one’s lack of power. The work proposes an account for why a person is acid, and illustrates the typical devices of acid communication, like creative language, use of indirectness and rhetorical figures, speech acts of criticism, specification, allusion and insinuation.
