Opis: Written by the American author Diana Gabaldon, the novel Outlander is one of the most popular books in the historical romance genre, but it also includes elements of the fantasy genre. The Master thesis explores the identification chains of the two protagonists – Jamie Fraser, Claire (Randall) Fraser, and the antagonist, Black Jack Randall. The analysis is based on the concept of reference and participant identification as proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976) and Martin and Rose (2004). The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the diversity of references in identification chains of the three selected characters. References are divided into five specified categories. Additionally, references are also analysed by categories in each reference chain according to their evaluation (positive, negative, and neutral). Four hypotheses have been set to guide the analysis. H1: The most diverse identity chain belongs to the male protagonist (Jamie Fraser). H1 has been confirmed. H2: The majority of the references in the identity chain of the antagonist (Black Jack Randall) have a negative evaluation. H2 has been rejected. The antagonist (Black Jack Randall) has the least diverse identity chain, H3 has been confirmed. H4: The identity chain of the female protagonist (Claire Randall Fraser) is the longest. H4 has also been confirmed. The findings from the analysis are interpreted in connection to the characteristics of the romance genre.
