Summary: | In this article, we study the names of facebook groups which aim at reducing the value of the speakers who do not control linguistic norms. The internet users stigmatize tears in norm and can adopt attitudes of an extreme violence: errors are considered as insulting for those who master the language. The “offense to the language” is supposed to legitimize verbal violence: the speakers “censors” would since then be authorized to produce a violent speech "offending" in relation to the miracle-workers of errors. Our analyses will show that the call to grouping against the “speakers-troublemakers” rests on a common doxa (the importance of the workmanship of the language) rather than on a definite argumentation. We will examine the various manifestations of verbal violence (on the level on enunciation, interaction, etc.), and check where the names of the Facebook groups stand on a gradual scale of violence.
