"This project aims to address a clear practical and methodological gap that exists in current efforts to tackle hate speech and its effects on communities in conflict zones—namely, how do we identify and contextualize the particular kind of language that’s likely to cause violence? Rather than a

ssessing the existence or prevalence of hate speech language, this project instead examines terms and their use in a particular country context. To successfully monitor and counter hate speech, we must first identify specific terms and the social and political context that makes them offensive, inflammatory, or even potentially dangerous. Therefore, PeaceTech Lab has produced this lexicon of terms used online during a particular period of South Sudanese conflict that began in December 2013 in order to analyze how they contributed to the conflict. This initiative also seeks to identify alternative language that would mitigate or counter the impact of this speech on the conflict and thereby help build peace in the country. Finally, this resource intends to inform other individuals and organizations involved in monitoring and countering hate speech in South Sudan—and potentially elsewhere—so that their work can be more effective."

"The ability to access Media Arabic – the language of printed or broadcast news items – has become increasingly important in the light of recent developments in the Middle East. Consequently, the need for a ‘quick-fix’ vocabulary of Media Arabic is greater than ever. Arabic dictionaries are

not equipped to deal with Media Arabic, which involves many new coinages to express contemporary concepts (for example, drone, no-fly zone, financial bailout, multi-culturalism). While English-speaking students can deduce some terms from Arabic to English by thinking laterally (for example, ministerial straightening equals cabinet reshuffle, the falsification of elections equals electionrigging), this is a much more hit and miss process when attempted from English to Arabic. Until now, getting to know the Arabic for common contemporary media terminology has necessitated a long period of familiarisation with the Arabic media. This book is designed to help undergraduates, postgraduates, governmental, military, diplomatic and business personnel bypass this lengthy process. This book aims to supply the core vocabulary of Media Arabic in a logical format to provide easy reference and easy-to-learn lists testing both Arabic to English and English to Arabic. Familiarisation with this book will furnish the reader with an invaluable knowledge of the key vocabulary components essential to comprehend, translate, write and speak contemporary Media Arabic."
