In this three-year interdisciplinary Project social scientists and computer-linguists from three German research institutions worked together to analyse the discursive emergence of multiple collective identities in a corpus of 460.917 press articles on wars and humanitarian military interventions taken from six countries over a period of 22 years. They developed two cutting-edge corpus-analytic tools, the Complex Concept Builder and the Exploration Workbench, to deal with crucial research-practical challenges and their solutions, including the creation of the corpus, the elaboration of semi-automatic tools for corpus cleaning, the translation of discourse-theoretical concepts into workable coding definitions, and the retrieval of quantifiable results.
