ABSTRACT
This chapter contributes to the discussion of “Text in conflict” by discussing rhetorical strategies employed in naming people involved in forced migration and by investigating naming preferences in the British newspaper The Times over 200 years. The chapter aims to show how naming choices produce ideation, which then perpetuates the particular conflict situation, and how casting light on naming choices and de-naturalising them may hold potential benefits for tackling conflict in the area of anti-migration discourse.
