It investigates the trends in language aggression, evaluation, persuasion and other elements of conflict communication related to the situation. Through the analysis of the linguistic features of salient discourses and prevalent narratives constructed by different social groups, \u003ci\u003eLanguage of Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e reflects competing worldviews of various stakeholders in this conflict and presents multiple, often contradictory, visions of the circumstances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors from Ukraine, Russia and beyond investigate discursive representations of the most important aspects of the crisis: its causes and goals, participant andthe values and ideologies of the opposing factions\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003eThey focus on categorization, stance, framing, (de)legitimation, manipulation and coping strategies while analysing the ways in which the stress produced by social discord, economic hardship, and violence shapes public discourse. Primarily focusing on informal communication and material gathered from online sources, the collection provides insight into the ways people directly affected by the crisis think about and respond to it. The volume acknowledges the communicators' active role in constructing the (often incompatible) discursive images of the conflict and concentrates on the conscious and strategic use of linguistic resources in negative and aggressive communication.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalia Knoblock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350098566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350098565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Natalia Knoblock","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941760860415,"sku":"9781350098565","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_96eac4f2-518e-47f3-a38a-06beac4baad9.jpg?v=1681454811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-of-conflict-natalia-knoblock-9781350098565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
