Open lecture: Linguistic research may help us understand conflicts better

In this open lecture, doctors Tatyana Karpenko-Seccombe from University of Huddersfield and Natalia Knoblock from Saginaw Valley State University present their chapters in the book Language of Conflict – Discourses of the Ukrainian Crisis, which Natalia Knoblock also edited. Through discourse analysis of different levels of the languages in Ukraine and Russia, we may better understand what is behind and what has assisted in pushing this conflict into war.
