Exploring the ways in which language and conflict are intertwined and interrelated, this book examines the changes that have taken place in the public discourse of the Ukraine and Russia since 2014 and the beginning of the 'Ukrainian Crisis.’ Through analysis of the narratives constructed by different social groups in Ukraine, Discourses of the Ukrainian Crisis shows how discourse can illuminate the competing worldviews and the conflicting positions of the various stakeholders in this conflict.
Through critical discourse analysis and multimodality, this book explores the prevalent narratives and the linguistic features of the salient discourses surrounding this conflict. Using Russian- and Ukrainian-language texts from traditional and social media, contributors from Ukraine, Russia and outside investigate discourses surrounding the most important topics of the crisis: its causes and goals, the sides, and the values and ideologies of the opposing parties. Highlighting the ways in which the stress produced by social discord, economic hardship and violence, is reflected in verbal aggression, slurs, insults and profane language of extraordinary linguistic creativity, Discourses of the Ukrainian Crisis provides insight into the ways people think about, respond to and experience the reality of conflict in their everyday communication.
