Five Categories of "We" in a European Parliamentary Debate : A Conversation Analytic Study / Fem kategorier av "vi" i en Europaparlamentsdebatt : En samtalsanalytisk studie

The aim of this thesis is to analyse the personal pronoun “we” in a political debate using Conversation Analysis as research method. More specifically, the thesis aims to identify and analyse how the speakers of a political debate use “we” to express different referential domains in terms of group affiliation. Consequently, to support the thesis’s aim, the following research questions have been devised: What different categories of “we” can be found in the debate? How and when are these different categories used to manifest group affiliation and what do they accomplish?
