Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is a linguistic discourse analysis of the drama Krieg [War] by Rainald Goetz with the purpose of a reconstruction of the emergent picture of war. An important factor in this process are the emotions inherent in the language of the characters, as well as linguistic routines, which also reveal information pertinent to the affective judgement of the situation. The method of analysis is the linguistic multi-level analysis model (DIMEAN) formulated by Warnke/Spitzmüller (2008) and the guidelines for analysis of literary texts as postulated by Halliday (1971).
