Abstract:

Bringing together contributions from a team of international scholars, this
pioneering book applies theories and approaches from linguistics, such as
discourse analysis and pragmatics, to analyse the media and online political
discourses of both conflict and peace processes. By analysing case studies as
globally diverse as Germany, the USA, Nigeria, Iraq, Korea and Libya, and
across a range of genres such as TV news channels, online reporting and
traditional newspapers, the chapters collectively show how news discourse can
be powerful in mobilizing public support for war or violence, or for conflict
resolution, through the linguistic representation of certain groups. It
explores the consequences of this 'framing' effect, and shows how peace
journalism can be achieved through a non-violent approach to reporting
conflict. It will therefore serve as an essential resource for students,
scholars and experts in media and communication studies, conflict and peace
studies, international relations, linguistics and political science.
