Abstrakt: | In the following book, an attempt has been made to indicate practical application of
linguistic knowledge in actions undertaken by law enforcement and aimed at public security
and public order. The book puts forward a proposition to create a sub-field of linguistics
under the term „linguisecuritology” – theory and practice of the langugae of security.
A semantic field of linguisecuritology encompasses all terms related to vital characteristics
of a crisis situation conceptualized by its every participant. It has been indicated how
to conduct talks with the perpetrator of a crisis situation with use of the theory of speech
acts, and how to optimalize the flow of information between all the public service forces
involved in a threat situation.
The book consists of an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion. The introduction
specifies the purpose of the book and the contents of the chapters. A conceptual
framework of the term „linguisecuritology” has been proposed. In chapter one W kręgu
dyskursu kryzysowego. Konceptualizacja pojęć (Within crisis discourse. Conceptualization
of notions), the notions of discourse and crisis discourse have been discussed from the
perspective of pragmatic linguistics, and the possiblilities of use of the psycholinguistic
knowledge in crisis situations have been indicated. The subject of chapter two is the specificity
of the crisis discourse with the perpetrator considering the theory of speech acts.
Strategies of communicating with the perpetrator have been discussed, including issues of
promising, witholding information and lying during negotiations.
This chapter also contains general remarks on the subject of the flow of information
in crisis situations. Next, the flow of information during regional multi-level simulations
in crisis management „Lotnisko 2011”(„Airport 2011”) has been characterized. In chapter
three Perspektywy badawcze lingwosecuritologii. Opis projektów badawczych (Research perspectives
of linguisecuritology. Description of research projects), a few linguisecuritological
projects by the author have been discussed in the context of perspectives for development
of this sub-field. The book is addressed for a broad circle of recipients including law
enforcement, academic and research environment, students and lecturers involved in the
fields of security, crisis situations, psychology and notably linguistics. The book is a continuation
of my research and an attempt at applying linguistic knowledge for the optimalization
of the flow of information in crisis situations. |
