This book is among the first to combine a historical view of media texts with a critical look at their textual diversity today.

Intertextuality and the workings of conflicting discourses play promin...
This edited book includes chapters that explore the impact of war and its aftermath in language and official discourse. It covers a broad chronological range from the First World War to very recent experiences of war, with a focus on Australia and the Pacific region. It examines three main themes in relation to language: the impact of war and trauma on language, the language of war remembrance, and the language of official communications of war and the military.
