Bringing together contributions from a team of international
scholars, this pioneering book applies theories and approaches from
linguistics, such as discourse analysis and pragmatics, to analyse
the media and online political discourses of both conflict and
peace processes. By analysing case studies as globally diverse as
Germany, the USA, Nigeria, Iraq, Korea and Libya, and across a
range of genres such as TV news channels, online reporting and
traditional newspapers, the chapters collectively show how news
discourse can be powerful in mobilizing public support for war or
violence, or for conflict resolution, through the linguistic
representation of certain groups. It explores the consequences of
this 'framing' effect, and shows how peace journalism can be
achieved through a non-violent approach to reporting conflict. It
will therefore serve as an essential resource for students,
scholars and experts in media and communication studies, conflict
and peace studies, international relations, linguistics and
political science.
