Names Are Never Only Names: A Nominal Analysis of Terrorist Organizations
Abstract This study argues that terrorism is a political communication process that starts with the connotations made by the keywords terrorist organizations purposefully use in their names to appeal to their first-order audience and show themselves as the vanguards of the values represented by those words. Data analyses conducted based on the names of 2,939 terrorist organizations revealed that terrorist groups name their organizations following similar patterns. Moreover, the study found local and temporal patterns in line with the political trends of the respective era.
期刊介绍:
Terrorism and insurgency are now the dominant forms of conflict in the world today. Fuelled by moribund peace processes, ethnic and religious strife, disputes over natural resources, and transnational organized crime, these longstanding security challenges have become even more violent and intractable: posing new threats to international peace and stability. Studies in Conflict and Terrorism aims to cast new light on the origins and implications of conflict in the 21st Century and to illuminate new approaches and solutions to countering the growth and escalation of contemporary sub-state violence.
