EMESSI offers a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative investigations of the semantic and socio-pragmatic profiles of (a selection of) the TIDE keywords surrounding three main social categories: an in-group (e.g., citizens, settlers), an out-group (e.g. foreigners, strangers, aliens) and an in-between group of ‘movers’ (e.g. travellers, vagrants).
