Angermuller grew up in

Academic work

Having a background in linguistics and sociology, Angermuller is known for his work in

poststructuralism. His research interests centre on the discursive construction of social order. His methodological focus is on the social effects of language in use. While addressing questions of power, knowledge and social change, he has pursued research on academic, educational as well as political discourses. Trained in German sociology, French linguistic discourse analysis and the qualitative traditions of German and North American social sciences, he specialises in enunciative pragmatics as a linguistic approach to subjectivity in language. In his studies of academic and political discourses, he perceives discourse as a positioning practice contributing to the construction of social order. He was the Principal Investigator of the ERC DISCONEX and INTAC research teams investigating the positioning practices and cultures of researchers in the social sciences and humanities in the U.S., France, Germany and the UK. Angermuller coordinates DiscourseNet, an interdisciplinary and international network of discourse researchers, which became "DiscourseNet. International Association for Discourse Studies" in 2019 and elected Angermuller as its founding president. With Daniel Wrana, he set up the multilingual Web portal Discourseanalysis.net. With Martin Nonhoff, he launched the Gradnet graduate conferences at Erlangen in 1999. He is the editor of the Palgrave DiscourseNet Publication hub, which includes a number of journals and book series, such as Palgrave Communications and the Palgrave Book Series Postdisciplinary Studies in Discourse
; the transcript DiscourseNet book series; Peter Lang: Transpects.
