About
"Exploring the differing ways in which language has been used to try to make sense of the First World War, this book compares the experiences of a wide range of languages. Offering further developments in an innovative approach to the study of the conflict, this volume develops a transnational viewpoint of the experience of war to explore less expected areas of language use during the conflict. Taking the study of the First World War far beyond the Western Front, the chapters in this book examine experiences in many regions, including Africa, Armenia, post-war Australia, Russia and Estonia, and a variety of contexts, from prisoner-of-war and internment camps, to food queues and post-war barracks. Drawing upon a wide variety of languages, such as Esperanto, Flemish, Italian, Kiswahili, Portuguese, Romanian and Turkish, Multilingual Environments in the Great War brings together language experiences of conflict from both combatants and the home front, connecting language and literature with linguistic analysis of the immediacy of communication"--
