The Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict (JLAC) focuses on the analysis of language as the primary means through which aggression and conflict are realized. It examines how language is used to assert dominance, control, and to enact and normalize violence, including psychological abuse, gender-based violence, and political violence. The journal also investigates the role of language in legitimation efforts, cancel culture, and the construction of identities and 'othering' in various online and media contexts.
