Description

Explore the profound connection between communication and conflict in At War with Words. This volume provides a unique perspective on how language functions during mass violence, examining its role in the genesis and consequences of global struggle. As modern conflicts increasingly involve non-state actors, understanding the power of text and talk becomes essential. This collection brings together internationally known contributors who provide original data and fresh insights. The research explores how language is used to build enemy identities, create justifications for violence, and fuel propaganda. By looking at diverse contexts from around the world, the book covers a wide spectrum of linguistic influence. Readers will examine various case studies, ranging from the inflammatory rhetoric used by radio talk show hosts to the specific semantic patterns found in the lexicon of mass destruction. This book is a vital resource for those studying the social processes of language and its impact on global security and human interaction.
