Abstract
Belarus, one of the European non-EU States that was the least mentioned in Le Monde’s 2014
headlines (see above Table 3.3), presents another interesting case for the question of European belonging. After a brief
presentation of the country, its policies, and reactions to them (7.1), an all-genre
corpus (7.2) is analysed with the help of lexicometric tools (7.3) to reveal Belarus’ European and non-European identity construction in Le Monde
(7.4).
