WarLang: AI-assisted linguistic tool for discourse analysis of war-related language

This paper presents a study on the potential of large language models for the critical analysis of war-related discourse in media texts. It introduces the concept and design of the WarLang chatbot – an intelligent analytical tool based on generative artificial intelligence that functions as a linguistic discourse analyst. Through a case study involving a speech by Winston Churchill, the paper demonstrates WarLang’s ability to uncover ideological, metaphorical, and rhetorical strategies embedded in war discourse. An expert evaluation of the generated results is conducted, confirming the analytical precision of the chatbot. Finally, the educational potential of WarLang is outlined as a tool for teaching discourse analysis, critical reading, and media literacy in the humanities and social sciences.
