Degrees of European Belonging

Eurasian Turkey has been chosen as the last case study for this work on the various degrees of European belonging as it occupies a very special place in Europe (8.1). The all-genre and the editorial corpora (8.2) are analysed lexicometrically (8.3) and rhetorically (8.4). The results show how Turkey’s history and geographical position matter in Le Monde ’s construction of its European belonging (8.5).
