Concept of Human Identity on the Basis of tapatus, -i and Its Derivatives in Contemporary Lithuanian Opinion Journalism

Summary/Abstract: The article centres on human identity based on the adjective tapatus, -i, its verbal and nominal derivatives. It combines the structural approach towards meaning with the cognitive one. By referring to the data of opinion journalism kept in the Corpus of Contemporary Lithuanian Language (CCLL), the article elaborates on the concept of human identity. The study revealed that based on the valency actants of the words under discussion and the predicates whose actants they themselves are, human identity is a peculiar entirety of the person which is sensed, perceived and/or created on the basis of duality right from birth: as the person’s close relationship with the partial – inherent or non-inherent, heavenly or earthly – identity. From a temporal perspective, inherent identity is more stable than non-inherent. Variability is associated with expression by different forms of yra tapatus and tapatinti(s).
