The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is still relevant to examine speech aggression as a form of communication in online discourse. Different ways to understand this idea are taken into consideration. The author defines speech aggression as intentional and driven communication behavior aimed at upending the media environment. On the content of French-language comments to a news article, four different forms of aggression are displayed: verbal passive direct, verbal passive indirect, verbal active direct, and verbal passive indirect. Speech aggression can be classified into two categories based on the degree of purposefulness and the intensity of expression. The most common ways that speech aggression manifests itself in online comments are examined. The analysis concludes that the commentator's intention to manipulate other Internet users, express his own negative emotions about the subject matter of the article or other interlocutors who share his viewpoint, and discredit or offend the other person determines the speech aggression in the comments.
