Abstrakt: 

This paper attempts to outline a quantitative approach to authentic text analysis focusing on context embeddedness as one of the linguistic factors correlating with the occurrence of the types of social personae in the process of identity negotiation.It demonstrates the possible benefits of using exact methods in linguistic analysis, proposes an application of Jakobson’s (1960) concept of language functions and compares it to more recent theories (Holmes 2001; Agha 2007). Further, it explores the information structure of a textual message based on lexico-semantic pairs and clusters and identifies the distributional patterns of different degrees of semantic complexity in the analysed samples in relation to pertinent dialogic structure
