The topic of the present paper is linguistic self-presentation of the speaker, implemented through the structures with an explicit we and a noun modifier N, which is an updated and ostentatious expression of one of its real or fictitious social and/or personal roles. The structures of collective identity are judged as composite units, which the speaker uses and verifies himself/ herself intuitively. The engagement of the speaker is reflected through the synergy of functions such as communication, thematization, social relations, influence and self-presentation. The study focuses on the interpretation of structures of collective identity of the speaker in terms of their systemic properties and discursive realizations, i.e. in terms of ego projection and ego presentation. We follow from (a) the thematization of collective identity, reflecting on (i) the difference between the cumulative and distributive frequency, (ii) preference of either the classification or qualification reasoning, (iii) use of the pragmatic approach when confirming or denying the factual nature of collective identity, and (b) the role of emphasis in the formation and discursive use of the structures of collective identity of the speaker.
