abstract = {The dissertation addresses the question of how identity and
difference interact in thinking and language, particularly
against the backdrop of the Identitarian movement and its
reconceptualization of identity in postmodern society. At
its core is the question of how language, as a constitutive
element of reality, determines identity and how
identitary-forming mechanisms can be derived from it. The
theoretical framework is guided by Foucault’s discourse
concept: language and the practice of social action shape
identity, while discourse itself depends on historical and
present conditions of possibility. The Identitarian group in
France is used as a target group to investigate which
linguistic strategies, shifts in concepts, and practices of
action generate and legitimize an identitarian worldview.
The analysis spans from the lower level of word forms -
especially verb usage, their semantic developments, and
diachronic semantics - up to larger text segments and corpus
analyses. The aim is to identify discourse-structural
indicators at the word level as well as patterns in sentence
structure and text coherence. The methodology of the study
pursues a triangulated research design that combines
historical discourse semantics, corpus-linguistic discourse
analysis and sociopragmatic discourse analysis. A particular
emphasis is placed on verbal syntax: verbs are regarded as
central nodes of the discourse, with aspectuality and tense
structures providing insight into perspective, action, and
intentionality. Additionally, a mixed-methods program is
used to implement a code co-occurrence analysis to reveal
connections between codes in the discourse material. In the
empirical part, the text corpus of the Identitarians
(2016–2018) is examined, focusing on their media
visibility (Twitter, linked texts) as well as changes in
terms and reference strategies. The dissertation asks how
spatial and temporal representations accompany identity
processes and how narrative patterns reflect national or
transnational shifts in identity. On this basis, political,
cultural, and linguistic fields are analyzed: the role of
populism discourses, metapolitics, the connection between
identity, space, and time, and the role of violence,
boundary-marking, and migration discourses. The text also
outlines a detailed category matrix of verb semantics,
encompassing biomechanical, sensory, cognitive,
communicative, as well as time- and aspect-related verb
classes. This categorization serves the systematic
exploration of the discursive functions of verbs in
identitary discourse, their semantic change, and their
pragmatic usages. The dissertation’s chapter structure
proceeds from theoretical grounding to methodology, corpus
analysis, results presentation, concluding with a discourse
analysis of identitary text segments in relation to time,
space, identity, and political practice.},
