Thematic Issue 38/2: Text, Society, and Democracy

This thematic issue, titled Text, Society, and Democracy, is justified by the relevance of combating anti-democratic practices in contemporary society and is guided by the central question: How can the theoretical and methodological principles of language research support analyses of the textual-discursive nature of hate speech, prejudice, discrimination, and social exclusion and their multiple manifestations, in order to combat anti-democratic practices?

The aim of this publication is to bring together researchers from different fields of text and discourse studies to foster an interdisciplinary debate on the topic.
