Abstract

The starting point of this article is Helmut Gipper’s conception of the ideological worldviews which states that worldviews incorporate definite outlook of life (mindset), beliefs, evaluations, norms and values. The main aim of the article is to explore the worldviews constructed by the far-left and far-right movements in their online publications. By adopting a communication perspective and by analyzing contexts and reconstructing the semantics of the most frequent words (key-words) the author tries to discover the patterns and regularities in the communication of the radical political movements, identify core elements of their identity and, on such basis, reconstruct key elements of their ideological worldviews. The author refers to the constructivist theories, conceptions of the linguistic as well as textual worldviews and uses the methods and techniques of the corpus linguistics.
