This edition explores the linguistic and rhetorical strategies employed in the context of war, examining the lexicon, metaphors, and discourse used to frame and represent conflict. The volume, published by LCM Journal, delves into the ways language shapes our understanding of war, analyzing how specific word choices, figurative language, and overall narrative structures contribute to the construction of meaning and perception surrounding conflict. It offers a cross-cultural perspective on the language of war, examining how different languages and cultures employ diverse rhetorical devices to represent and interpret armed conflict. The publication is part of the LCM Journal, which focuses on investigating linguistic and cultural phenomena in the contemporary world. This particular issue, therefore, contributes to the journal’s broader aim by analyzing the role of language in shaping our understanding of a significant and complex global issue: war.
