‘Not With Us — Against Us’: ‘We’ vs. ‘They’ in the Transformation of Black Lives Matter Participants’ Collective Identities in Online Interactions with All Lives Matter, 2013–2014
Вестник Российского университета дружбы народов. Серия: Политология. 2025. No. 3. P. 479–493.
This article explores how “we” and “they” function in the construction and contestation of collective identity in the early online discourse of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and All Lives Matter (ALM) movements during the years 2013–2014. By analyzing the frequency, referents, and collocational patterns of these pronouns in tweets posted during this period, the study traces how group boundaries were drawn, redefined, and rhetorically charged in response to shifting political dynamics.

There are several rival theories of fake indexicals, i.e. bound indexicals (prominently pronouns) whose φ-features do not semantically contribute to focus alternatives (e.g. Only Mary did her homework, John didn’t do his). According to Minimal Pronoun theories (such as Kratzer’s or Wurmbrand’s), bound pronouns are Merged without φ-features and acquire them under binding via agreement-like ...

Fake indexicals (FIs), or bound-variable uses of e.g. 1st - and 2 nd -person pronouns, have been analysed by Bassi (2021) as arising from a post-syntactic process of inspecting the features of the referent. This leads to a peculiar analysis of the syntax and semantics of relative clauses containing FIs. I argue for a more ...
