Résumé (en anglais)

The current paper explores the role language plays in political conflict management by analyzing a series of political discourses on a specific source of conflict – namely, the European refugee crisis of 2011-2015. After briefly reviewing key theoretical studies on conflict management in general and the role of language in conflict management, we provide extensive details of the case study entitled "The European refugee crisis - A view from several EU Member States", which we conducted with the aim of analyzing the opinions of various EU Member States' representatives (German, French, Romanian and Hungarian officials) about the refugee crisis of 2011-2015. Naturally, we conclude by highlighting the main similarities and differences between the attitudes expressed in the selected discourses and the way language is used to convey the respective attitudes.
