Abstract:

The global rise in the number, size and complexity of migration flows has not
only resulted in an unprecedented flurry of debates and negotiations about how
to deal with it through economic, social, and military policies but also in a
huge increase in racist and xenophobic language use and discriminatory
discourse. The expression of aggression and hatred in (anti-)immigration
debates and its relationship to racism and its pseudo-justification lie at the
center of this volume.

Its seven main contributions provide exemplary analyses of European and US
debates that instrumentalize anti-immigrant attitudes: on the one hand among
far-right populists in Cyprus, in Serbian and Croatian nationalism, and in the
Hungarian government’s attempts at legitimizing immigration exclusion, and on
the other hand in discourses associated with US-president Trump and his
followers, including racists’ tactical denial of racism. Methodologically, all
studies pursue corpus-based Critical Discourse Analysis, with foci on lexical,
figurative, argumentative and discourse-historical patterns. Together, they
show the convergence of populist polemic strategies. Originally published as
special issue of the "Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict", issue 5:2
(2017).
