Abstract This chapter analyses the discursive construction of collaborative text production via metaphors on talk pages of the English, French, and German Wikipedia. The cross-linguistic study makes use of the WikiDemoCorpus (WDC) to qualitatively reveal the source domains of these metaphors. Situated within the framework of discourse analysis in the tradition of Foucault (1966, 1969, 1971), the study analyses how Wikipedia authors use metaphors to create a certain point of view in their collaborations on talk pages. Additionally, the Wikipedia corpora available at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS) via the Corpus Search, Management and Analysis System II (COSMAS II) are used for exemplary quantification. Finally, the potential of further corpus linguistics methods for metaphor identification and analysis is discussed.
