The study proceeds from an inquiry into the way in which
affiliation to social groups is signalized communicatively. The
question is examined on the basis of a large corpus of authentic
verbal exchanges (conversations) recorded in the years following
German reunification. 'East German' and 'West German' are the
social categories forming the basis for the empirical elaboration
of how individuals are allocated to group(ing)s and how - both on
the basis of that allocation and beyond it - group-specific
characteristics and behaviours are ascribed and evaluated. The main
result of the study is the establishment of a descriptive
linguistic framework for social categorizations in conversations
and texts.
