The world is a wide centre of conflicts. These conflicts are identified among human beings as well as among territories.

Interpersonal conflicts always arise when we think of conflictual interactions between individuals and societies. Language is both the source of and the solution to conflicts. If its influence becomes a central issue among powers and individuals, it is important or necessary to study language, as it has an impact on personality and culture and as it creates a legitimate and strong power. Thinking about language, culture and personality in the framework of redefined constraints leads to topics within the question of the reaffirmation of power: If the outcome changes with a loss of exclusive attributes of physical violence, their pertinence still remains. The fundamental problem of the role of language is however reactivated in the context of interpersonal conflicts to be studied in this thesis. Therefore, the study attempts to prove through different factors how conflicts arise and how they can be resolved.

Abstract
The world is a wide centre of conflicts. These conflicts are identified among human beings as well as among territories. The most common conflict on which this study focuses is characterized by confrontations involving two or several individuals. Interpersonal conflicts always arise when we think of conflictual interactions between individuals and societies. Language is both the source of and the solution to conflicts. If its influence becomes a central issue among powers and individuals, it is important or necessary to study language, as it has an impact on personality and culture and as it creates a legitimate and strong power. Thinking about language, culture and personality in the framework of redefined constraints leads to topics within the question of the reaffirmation of power: If the outcome changes with a loss of exclusive attributes of physical violence, their pertinence still remains. The fundamental problem of the role of language is however reactivated in the context of interpersonal conflicts to be studied in this thesis. Therefore, the study attempts to prove through different factors how conflicts arise and how they can be resolved.

Abstract: (french)
Le monde dans lequel nous vivons est un grand théâtre de conflits. Ces conflits sont identifiés tant sur le plan humain que sur le plan territorial. La forme la plus répandue, et notamment celle qui nous intéresse, est le conflit interpersonnel caractérisé par l'affrontement de deux ou plusieurs personnes. La problématique du conflit interpersonnel fait surface chaque fois que l'on cherche à penser les rapports conflictuels entre les individus et les sociétés. Par ailleurs, la question du langage apparaît à plus d'un titre, comme une thérapeutique bien mesurée à ce sujet. Si son influence devient un fait central au sein des jeux de pouvoirs agissant entre les individus, il apparaît important, voire nécessaire, d'étudier les méthodes d'usage du langage, de la personnalité et de la culture permettant de fonder une puissance forte et légitime. Penser le langage, la culture et la personnalité dans le cadre de la contrainte ainsi redessinée, implique leur thématisation au sein de la réaffirmation de la question de la puissance : si ceux-ci changent de forme en perdant les attributs exclusifs de la violence physique, ils ne perdent en rien leur pertinence. Le rôle fondamental du langage est cependant réactivé dans le contexte du conflit inter personnel. Nous montrerons à travers différents facteurs comment le conflit trouve naissance et comment on peut arriver à une résolution.
