[Coding/Special Scores] AG

Aliases

• AG
• aggressive movement
• aggressive action

Definition

AG is coded when a movement response shows clearly aggressive action.
What matters is aggression as an ongoing act, not just a vague hostile quality of the object.

Conditions

• The response must include movement, usually scoring-input/determinants/M, scoring-input/determinants/FM, or scoring-input/determinants/m.
• The action has to be observably aggressive: striking, attacking, tearing, violently pushing, biting, or injuring.
• The code is used for aggression as movement, not merely for damage that has already happened.
• If the aggressive action is carried out jointly by more than one figure, AG may coexist with scoring-input/special-score/COP.

Cautions

• A hostile adjective without clear action does not justify AG.
• If the main focus is that the object is already broken, dead, or deteriorated, first reconsider scoring-input/special-score/MOR.
• AG does not automatically decide scoring-input/gphr/PHR; that decision requires an additional coding step.
