Abstract

A special thematic issue of Peace Review titled "Linguistic Violence" & edited by Brien Hallett & Mary Tiles presents 18 essays by different authors & an introduction by Hallett, who classifies the essays into categories of exploration, exemplification, & strategy. Exploratory essays treat linguistic violence at an abstract conceptual level in terms of either the relationship of language & power or the ramifications of a comprehensive theory of language. The maneuvering of language by power is exemplified by studies of military & geopolitical uses of words including peace; linguistic & cultural effects of rapid political & social change are examined in the contexts of Africa & the former USSR. The deleterious physiological effects of violent language are outlined, & violent language in films is discussed. Strategies of replacement of violent language by nonviolent language are addressed in systematic terms & in personal & classroom contexts; whereas the potential of a strategy of silence is the focus of studies that highlight the positive, enabling power of listening & the use of silence to reject the language game. 67 References.
