Protests are considered to be one of the essential cornerstones of democratic societies, because they are where social and cultural pluralism is constantly being renegotiated and alternative political fields of action are opened up. This volume maps out the current state of the linguistic research into protests, which assumes that protests first and foremost constitute linguistic practices of media and historical protest communication.
