ABSTRACT
This paper is the result of monitoring articles from online media in the German language on current topics. Given that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is currently the central topic of the world media, a linguistic analysis of the texts on the mentioned topic was carried out, from 07. 10, 2023, when the horrific murders of Israel citizens took place, until 22. 12. 2023. The focus is on the analysis and comparison of linguistic means used to describe suffering of civilians, treating in more detail their morphological, semantic, and stylistic features. The results of the research show whether adequate language expressions and structures are used in reporting on the war casualties of civilians in Israel, Gaza, and Ukraine, where the focus is on civilians in Israel and Gaza. All examples were taken from the German portal bild.de, considering that it is the most read portal in Germany.
Keywords: linguistic analysis, online media, (in)adequate linguistic structures, reports on the war, Israel, Palestine
