Summary/Abstract: Has our thinking about climate change changed in recent years? And how could that be determined? A methodological supplement to multi-level discourse analysis is being developed based on an annotation scheme to reconstruct structures of argumentative texts. Aiming a diachronic approach in follow-up researches, this method is used to analyze data on the topic from the Augst / Disselhoff / Henrich et al. corpus (2007). This data will thus be made available for further research projects.
