WAR AND PEACE LANGUAGE: THE LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL RHETORIC IN GLOBAL CONFLICTS

Abstract

The article “War and Peace Language: The Linguistic Analysis of Political Rhetoric in Global Conflicts” explores political discourse as a powerful tool for shaping public opinion and ideological struggle. The study demonstrates how language choices and grammatical constructions construct images of “victim” and “aggressor,” legitimizing or delegitimizing the actions of conflict parties. The findings underscore these techniques’ pivotal role in the “information war,” and argue that critical linguistic analysis enhances media literacy and fosters critical thinking skills in an era of global informational confrontations.
