The planned research group aims to review and present the most recent history of the German language by examining a wide range of controversial discourses since 1990. In contrast to historiography, “linguistic history as contemporary history” is only practiced in individual studies on, for example, the climate protection discourse, the economic crisis discourse or the discourse on embryonic stem cell research. An overall presentation covering the most important subject areas of public-political debates is a desideratum for the period since the unification of the two German nation states in 1990.The aim of the Research Unit proposed here is to close this gap. Research will be carried out on the basis of the linguistic theory of the reality-constitutive power of language. From this perspective it follows that an explanation of how the respective “realities” in different thematic fields were linguistically constructed and enforced, can be regarded as a valuable contribution to contemporary historiography, especially as historiography is all too often characterized by discourse oblivion: it describes for instance economic crises without reflecting on the linguistic-discursive construction of reality which makes the perception of such “crises” possible in the first place. This socially relevant research objective can only be implemented in a larger collaborative project and in two funding phases since it will cover a large number of interrelated topics extending over a period of 30 years. In the preparatory work for this application, the research group developed hypotheses on basic discourse semantic figures that can be used to bundle these topics into project tandems and through which their respective controversial potential can be focused.Moreover, over the last decades an intense methodological discussion in discourse linguistics has developed. It has established a broad field of research offering a wide range of methods that can significantly enhance the representativity, reliability and va-lidity of the language historical results sought in the Research Unit. However, these methods also require a substantial investment of time and effort with regard to the preparation and evaluation of the corpus. In particular corpus-linguistic methods will be incorporated, which over the last ten years have increasingly shown that they can bring about considerable advances in linguistic discourse analysis. With digital meth-ods of processing, annotating and visualizing text data, discourse linguistics can be applied to the ever-increasing volume of accessible texts and triangulated with text-statistical methods, thus ensuring both the quality criteria of the empirical research and the transparency of the results. The added value of the Research Unit is, therefore, that collaborative research together with a common digital infrastructure will develop a col-laborative methodology for the understanding of discourse history.

计划中的研究小组旨在通过研究自1990年以来的各种有争议的话语来回顾和介绍德语的最新历史。与历史学不同的是，“作为当代史的语言史”仅在个别研究中得到实践，例如气候保护话语、经济危机话语或胚胎干细胞研究话语。自1990年两个德意志民族国家统一以来，一个涵盖公共政治辩论最重要主题领域的全面介绍是一个迫切需要。研究将在语言现实构成力的语言学理论基础上进行。从这个角度来看，可以得出这样的结论：对不同主题领域中各自的“现实”是如何在语言上被建构和强化的解释，可以被视为对当代史学的一个有价值的贡献，特别是因为史学常常以话语遗忘为特征：例如，它描述了经济危机，但没有反映现实的语言-话语结构，这使得这种“危机”的可能性。这一与社会相关的研究目标只能在一个更大的合作项目中分两个供资阶段实施，因为它将涵盖30年内大量相互关联的主题。在准备工作中，研究小组提出了一些基本的语篇语义图假设，这些假设可以用来将这些主题捆绑到项目中，并通过这些假设来关注它们各自的争议潜力。此外，在过去的几十年里，在语篇语言学中展开了激烈的方法论讨论。它建立了一个广泛的研究领域，提供了广泛的方法，可以显着提高语言历史研究成果的代表性，可靠性和多样性。然而，这些方法还需要在语料库的准备和评估方面投入大量的时间和精力。特别是语料库语言学方法将被纳入，在过去的十年中，越来越多的显示，他们可以带来相当大的进步，在语言话语分析。通过对文本数据的数字化处理、注释和可视化，语篇语言学可以应用于日益增多的可理解文本，并与文本统计方法进行三角测量，从而确保实证研究的质量标准和结果的透明度。因此，研究单位的附加值是，合作研究与共同的数字基础设施一起将开发一种合作的方法来理解话语历史。
