Abstract:

In a new era of global conflict involving non-state actors, AT WAR
WITH WORDS offers a provocative perspective on the role of language in
the genesis, conduct and consequence of mass
violence. Sociolinguistics meets political science and communication
studies in order to examine interdependence between armed conflict and
language. As phenomena attributed only to humans, both armed conflict
and language are visible on two axes: language as war discourse, and
language as a social policy subject to change by the victorious.

This book will be of interest to linguists, media scholars and
political scientists, but is also accessible to any reader interested
in language and war. Teachers will find particular chapters useful as
course material in discourse analysis, language policy, war and peace
studies, conflict resolution, mass communication, and other related
disciplines.
