Pour faire ressortir qu'il s'agit d'actes isolés plutôt que d'un comportement généralisé, il faut avoir recours à l'article indéfini (une violence verbale). Le terme «terrorisme verbal» rend bien la notion de brutalité que sous-tend le mot anglais «assault» et décrit parfaitement l'ambiance qui règne dans un milieu caractérisé par la violence. 3, record 1, French, - violence%20verbale
