Van Leeuwen’s Social Actors Network: The Corpus Approach

Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on Theo van Leeuwen’s Social Actor Network model as a framework for analysing the representation of participants in social practices in discourse. It outlines the core assumptions of the model and systematically discusses its main analytical categories, illustrating each one with examples from previous research. The study then proposes a corpus-based operationalisation of these categories using the Corpus Query Language (CQL), which enables their identification in large-scale textual datasets. The proposed procedures are demonstrated with examples drawn from press corpora concerning the representation of People on the Move at the Polish-Belarusian and Polish-Ukrainian borders in 2021–2022. The article combines theoretical reflection with methodological innovation, showing how corpus-linguistic techniques can support the analysis of social actor representations in extensive collections of texts.
