DESCRIPTION:Verbal threats may appear in a variety of contexts\, such as 
 ransom notes or courtroom proceedings\, but also in non-forensic context
 s such as everyday interactions or reality television (Muschalik 2018\; 
 Tompkinson 2023\; Neumaier 2025\; Pollmeier 2025). Although verbal threa
 tening seems to constitute a prominent part of human communication\, lin
 guistic research on the form and function of verbal threats remains unde
 rrepresented within the greater paradigm of linguistic (im)politeness. T
 his workshop aims to introduce participants to verbal threatening in Eng
 lish\, particularly paying attention to the questions: what is a threat 
 and which lexico-grammatical features are associated with verbal threats
 . We will first consider existing perspectives on these questions\, focu
 ssing on central studies on the subject-matter (e.g. Fraser 1998\; Gales
  2010\; Muschalik 2018\; Neumaier 2025)\, and then move on to hands-on d
 ata work. Participants do not need any prior knowledge on linguistic (im
 )politeness or verbal threatening.
