Abstract

This article shows how Croats and their country Croatia are evaluated in the years of war (1990-1995) and nowadays (2010-2015). The term evaluation is firmly linked to the term value, i.e. the evaluation always depends on socially accepted norms (cf. Mikulova 2012: 82). This article describes the image of Croats and Croatia in Germany by analysing and comparing how they are evaluated in the COSMAS II corpus in the newspaper Die Zeit. It will be analysed which words and expressions occur with the term kroat*. In the analysis, judgement as an evaluation category will be examined, i.e. how (un)usual, (un)capable, (un)resolute, (un)truthful and (un)ethical someone is.

Keywords
