Words and War: One War, Four Languages, Numerous Perspectives

The war in Ukraine has generated news and media stories that include various forms of 'hate speech' about Ukraine. This research study examines how four languages (Ukrainian, Russian, French, and English) use words that are derogatory and negative when reporting on the war. Dr. Lucille Mazo, MacEwan University, and Dr. Yuliya Krylova-Grek, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla, are collaborating on this international project. Dr. Mazo is examining words in France (French) and Canada (English) countries. Dr. Krylova-Grek is examining words in Ukraine (Ukrainian) and Russia (Russian) countries. News and media sites in all four countries will be analyzed for the presence, meaning, and frequency of words that indicate/suggest a form of 'hate speech'. After analysis of these words, the results will be compared for themes, commonalities, similarities, and dissimilarities within the four languages. The results are expected to be presented to both academic and community groups.
