Abstract
This paper examines the discourses of German identity in the manifestos of the parties elected to the Bundestag in September 1998, and analyses particularly the functions of the terms ‘Integration’ and ‘Solidarität’ as they apply (or not) to non‐German residents, German citizens, ethnic Germans and European integration. It also examines in a coda the uses of ‘Integration’ in the commentary accompanying the March 1999 bill to change the German citizenship laws. It concludes that within the two discourses of identity (the nation as an open community of rights or a closed community of ethnicity and custom) ‘Integration’ is a semantically empty verbal marker, used by all parties, around which to express attitudes of acceptance or covert rejection of non‐German groups in the central process of (re‐)defining ‘Deutsche/r’. ‘Solidarität’, on the other hand, is reserved by some parties for use in connection only with Germans. It is subjected to explicit re‐definition by one party in an attempt to claim the word for its particular ideology. Consequently the paper proposes that the concept of ‘Begriffe besetzen’ can be applied to ‘Solidarität’ but not to ‘Integration’, and situates these phenomena in relation to recent writing on political language.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
