This collection explores the discursive strategies and linguistic
resources underpinning conflict and polarization, taking a
multidisciplinary approach to examine the ways in which conflict is
constructed across a diverse range of contexts. The volume is
divided into two sections as a means of identifying two different
dimensions to conflict construction and bridging the gap between
different perspectives through a constructivist framework. The
first part comprises chapters looking at sociopolitical conflicts
across specific geographic contexts across the US, Europe and Latin
America. The second half of the book unpacks sociocultural
conflicts, those not defined by physical borders but shaped by
ideological differences on core values, such as on religion, gender
and the environment. Drawing on frameworks across such fields as
linguistics, critical discourse analysis, rhetoric studies and
cognitive studies, the book offers new insights into the discursive
polarization that permeates contemporary communicative interactions
and the ways in which a better understanding of conflict and its
origins might serve as a mechanism for providing new ways forward.
This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars
in critical discourse analysis, linguistics, rhetoric studies and
peace and conflict studies.
