Abstract
ABSTRACT: As of the 1990s, the world witnessed a growing concern for issues of peace and an emerging awareness of the relationship between communication and peace. As part of this new order, Peace Linguistics has branched out of Linguistics as a specialized field in Peace Studies, one that hopes to influence the ways we communicate and educate. However, despite its potential contribution, Peace Linguistics has not been systematized into a theoretical model. What is more, the viability of Peace Sociolinguistics as a subfield of Peace Linguistics has not been addressed at all. This paper reports on the emergence of Peace Linguistics, starts the discussion on Peace Sociolinguistics, and points at possible directions and goals for such a discipline. It also suggests that the universe of Englishes is an ideal testing ground for these explorations, given the many situations of potential linguistic conflict associated with an international language.
