The Criminal Code contains a multitude of provisions that sanction psychological influence over others, with the offense of incitement being the central norm. This work aims to resolve the dispute regarding the wrongful act of incitement through an interdisciplinary approach. In doing so, insights from the linguistic sub-discipline of pragmatics are incorporated into the interpretation of the text. The incitement theory presented here thus represents the behavior of the inciter in an original manner, taking into account linguistic, psychological, and sociological factors. Furthermore, it has been possible to utilize a comparative framework from linguistics to systematize all forms of sanctioned influence in the Criminal Code. In this way, difficulties in delineation at both the level of the offense and competition can be innovatively resolved.
