Hello,

We thought you'd be interested to know that the Stylistics Research Centre at
the University of Huddersfield has recently launched the Language in Conflict
project - a new initiative bringing together academics from Linguistics and
Conflict Studies as well as conflict resolution practitioners.

Our interactive website, www.languageinconflict.org, is a platform for
collaboration and the exchange of ideas, with short articles about
cutting-edge research on the topic and a comment feature to encourage feedback
and discussion. Register as a user now to stay up-to-date with developments in
this exciting new cross-disciplinary project!

Latest Articles
'Interactive Parameters of Conflict Situations'
Have a look at the latest article by Jim O'Driscoll, an inventory of the
linguistic and interactional aspects of conflict situations.

Some of the topics Language in Conflict will feature over the next few weeks:
• The interpretation of the term "victim" by the South African Truth and
Reconciliation Commission - and its impact on South African society today.
• A study on the use of the words "threat" and "risk" in former Prime Minister
Tony Blair responses to the Leveson Inquiry.
• Mediators and their clients: How to overcome roadblocks to successful
dispute resolution.

Contribute
Are you interested in contributing an article to the Language in Conflict
website yourself?

We welcome short articles (1500 words max.) that look at the importance and
use of language in conflict situations at any level, as well as within the
context of conflict resolution.
