„Was hat Europa mit mir zu tun?“ Europa in den Augen junger Politiker_innen – eine diskurslinguistische Analyse von Twitter-Beiträgen ausgewählter polnischer Jugendorganisationen

Abstract

This article focuses on social media i.e. it presents the analysis of Twitter posts written by Polish youth organisations of parties represented in the Polish parliament. Moreover, the article explores the question of the discursive status and discursive performance of Europe / the European Union. In doing so, a discourse-linguistic perspective is pursued; the investigation is oriented towards the discourse-linguistic topos concept. The article aims at both identifying the dominant topos in the analysed section of the discourse on Europe and discussing its linguistic realisation.
