Sažetak
This chapter discusses the methods and results of an ontological, conceptual and linguistic analysis of collective identities and the sociocultural concepts in staged communication during commemoration rituals. The lexical data for the study is provided by a corpus ofsixty- one speeches delivered at seven commemoration sites from 2014-2016, comprising 56, 291 tokens. By using the graph theory algorithms on the level of lexical concepts we classified sixty- four speakers and eighteen supporting institutions according to the 3, 370 invoked noun concepts at the commemorations. The classification process has revealed distinct communities of speakers and their shared choice of salient concepts and strategies of framing the affective dispositions and cognitive processes that form the basis for the construction of group identities, interaction and communication practices, political agendas and the dominant cultural model of national identity in general.
