metadata.value: The paper discusses a segment of modern social and political German communication which
  can be defined as vaccine discourse. The study considers discourse to be a complex linguistic
  unit of an overtext level, which includes texts, utterances, and various communication forms
  that are encompassed by a knowledge system and correspond to a certain social context. In
  creating the context of a speech act, all its participants are involved. Special role is also devoted
  not only to the interaction of utterances but also to the social context they are used in. Combined,
  these factors create a multidimensional discourse space. Discourse, being the result of
  chains of utterances united by the topic, constitutes the surrounding reality. We studied the
  formation of the reality with the means of discourse on the materials of the vaccine discourse,
  with its development being based on different opinions. We analyzed linguistic features of
  the German vaccine discourse using discussions and debates in the Bundestag, which took
  place in spring 2022. We detected major features of the vaccine discourse: polarization, diversity,
  and incompleteness. The examples prove argumentation to be central in forming the
  discourse, as it is used by the individuals when seeking the truth. We defined the most important
  argument strategies and characterized linguistic means responsible for the emotionally
  polarizing part of the discourse. We detected the relationship of different discourse levels
  having analyzed discourse contextualization. Moreover, we demonstrated how the microlevel
  of discourse, which is associated with vaccination, creates impulses for its development to the
  macrolevel reflecting German democratic challenges.
