Abstract:

A comprehensive approach to the study of discourse and conflict, this
book explores how opposing communities construe discourse worlds which
appear to reflect the existence of “paradoxical realities”.
Adopting a novel method for the study of conflict, framed in the
cognitive linguistic tradition within Critical Discourse Studies, the
book explains how conflict may be discursively created by relying on
the study of four main construal operations. Grounded in examples
specific to Northern Ireland, each chapter also highlights how the
method used could be applied to other conflictual contexts. In doing
so, it demonstrates how language and representation in conflict
situations may stem from a combination of different layers in
conflictual relations and the existence of both overt and covert
conflict. It also provides a comprehensive list of linguistic cues
upon which researchers can rely for analysing and explaining the role
of discourse in conflictual situations.
