AB Within the term “extremism,” one finds different groups, such as the far-right or,lately, COVID-19 denialism and TERF, all of which currently play a key role in theBritish social and political scene. While different scholars of critical discourse analysishave studied the characteristics of far-right speech, both COVID-19 denialist and TERFdiscourses remain to be explored in such depth. In order to do so, this dissertationcombined a corpus-oriented, quantitative approach and various qualitative strategies toanalyze and interpret a particular discursive trait of these extremist groups: thecharacterization of the in-group and the out-group through nominal and verbal groups.The results revealed several similarities between far-right, COVID-19 denialist and TERFdiscourses, such as the lack of agency of the in-group in negative actions, or the emphasison the negative traits of the out-group, linking the three groups together and opening adoor for future research on the field.
