Abstract:

This book explores the differing ways in which language has been used to try
to make sense of the First World War. Offering further developments in an
innovative approach to the study of the conflict, it develops a transnational
viewpoint of the experience of war to reveal less expected areas of language
use during the conflict.

Taking the study of the First World War far beyond the Western Front, chapters
examine experiences in many regions, including Africa, Armenia, post-war
Australia, Russia and Estonia, and a variety of contexts, from prisoner-of-war
and internment camps, to food queues and post-war barracks. Drawing upon a
wide variety of languages, such as Esperanto, Flemish, Italian, Kiswahili,
Portuguese, Romanian and Turkish, "Multilingual Environments in the Great War"
brings together language experiences of conflict from both combatants and the
home front, connecting language and literature with linguistic analysis of the
immediacy of communication.
