Conflict approached through a linguistic lens offers numerous possible levels of analysis, from language- and speaker-internal struggles to polarizing attitudes borne out of contextualized uses of language, and beyond humans, in interactions with other media such as technology, and now even more so, AI. Inquiry into both diachronic and synchronic linguistic displays, patterns, and behaviours within communication represents a challenge in itself, as the digital age increased the availability of research and scientific discourse, resulting in a divergence of perspectives on language phenomena. We thus welcome papers which foster the ground for a synergy between various disciplines and research methodologies coming from the fields of Internet linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Historical Linguistics, Psycho- and Neurolinguistics, Discourse Analysis, Digital Humanities, Multilingualism and Multiculturalism, Theoretical Linguistics and more. This multi- and inter-disciplinary dialogue between specialists from a variety of fields will account for the complexity of the linguistic phenomena emerging from various conflictual situations and discourses.
