The study deals with the discursive construction of Germany in four large Greek newspapers in the period 2001-2013. Methodologically, it combines the quantitative Corpus Linguistics analysis with the qualitative Critical Discourse Analysis. The relationship between the socio-political context (the Greek financial crisis) and Germany's discursive representation is particularly examined. Through the analytical categories of the collocations and stereotyped phrases on the one hand, interdiscursivity/intertextuality and the discursive strategies of metaphors and reference on the other hand, the characteristics that are ascribed to Germany in the Greek press are worked out.
