Rezensionen

"The Routledge Handbook of Language in Conflict is the outcome of an innovative project started by the editors a decade ago. They have gradually extended the scope of their inquiry integrating the finest research in this new discipline. The book is a comprehensive overview of the field and a must-read publication for everyone who wants to know more about how language is used in conflict situations."

Distinguished Professor Istvan Kecskes, State University of New York, USA

"The editors are to be commended for having put together a rich international range of excellent contributions on the thorny issue of social conflict - particularly with respect to what is happening on a daily basis in the social media - one that centrally involves language as 'languaging' in social interaction rather than language as a semiotic system."
