As a result of the analysis of 68 conflicting episodes manifested in verbal (85 % — 58 text snippets) and nonverbal (15 % — 10 text snippets) levels, such conclusions were made. O. Kumansky used both specialized and situational verbal and nonverbal conflict-causing means in tragicomic play «Totalizator» («Tote»).

There are specialized verbal means: phraseological units, curses, lexemes and morphemes with negative connotations, stylistically opposed units.
