CONCLUSION

In this chapter, we have tried to give the reader a sense of the theoretical and applied dimensions related to the emerging area of applied peace linguistics. I have summarized the key concepts of language, peace, and conflict resolution, and have described their interrelationship through a synthesis of implications from four communication-based approaches to conflict resolution, three of which are from the United States and one from Brazil. Finally, I have provided examples of applications of communicative peace and have made a plea for a new type of communicative right and responsibility to be considered in the education of peaceful language users.
