With several terms from the First World War still present in modern
speech, Languages and the First World War presents over 30 essays
by international academics investigating the linguistic aspects of
the 1914-18 conflict. The first of the two volumes covers language
change and documentation during the period of the war, while the
second examines the representation and the memory of the war.
Communicating in a Transnational War examines languages at the
front, including the subject of interpretation, translation and
parallels between languages; communication with the home front;
propaganda and language manipulation; and recording language during
the war. Representation and Memory examines historiographical
issues; the nature of representing the war in letters and diaries;
the documentation of language change; the language of representing
the war in reportage and literature; and the language of
remembering the war. Covered in the process are slang, censorship,
soldiers' phrasebooks, code-switching, borrowing terms, the
problems facing multilingual armies, and gendered language.
