Abstract:

Exploring the ways in which language and conflict are intertwined and
interrelated, this volume examines the patterns of public discourse in Ukraine
and Russia since the beginning of the Ukrainian Crisis in 2014. It
investigates the trends in language aggression, evaluation, persuasion and
other elements of conflict communication related to the situation. Through the
analysis of the linguistic features of salient discourses and prevalent
narratives constructed by different social groups, "Language of Conflict"
reflects competing worldviews of various stakeholders in this conflict and
presents multiple, often contradictory, visions of the circumstances.

Contributors from Ukraine, Russia and beyond investigate discursive
representations of the most important aspects of the crisis: its causes and
goals, participants and the values and ideologies of the opposing factions.
They focus on categorization, stance, framing, (de)legitimation, manipulation
and coping strategies while analysing the ways in which the stress produced by
social discord, economic hardship, and violence shapes public discourse.
Primarily focusing on informal communication and material gathered from online
sources, the collection provides insight into the ways people directly
affected by the crisis think about and respond to it. The volume acknowledges
the communicators' active role in constructing the (often incompatible)
discursive images of the conflict and concentrates on the conscious and
strategic use of linguistic resources in negative and aggressive
communication.
