The volume foregrounds the importance of integrating insights into the psychological and social mechanisms of moral disengagement with analyses of linguistic strategies and techniques to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of dehumanization across various discourses. Through six case studies from varied English-language discursive contexts, Wasniewska charts how language operates at different stages of moral disengagement across news media, new media, and medical, legal, and political discourse. In so doing, the volume presents ways forward for bridging the gap between psychological discourse and linguistic perspectives, and for crossing wider disciplinary boundaries in deepening our understanding of dehumanization, linguistic manipulation, and hate speech.
This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in critical discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, social psychology, media studies, and sociology.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
