Angermuller became known for his work on discourse analysis and post-structuralism . His research focus is on the complex organization of language use in a social context. His work on academic and political discourse deals with questions of power, knowledge and social change. He combines the French linguistic discourse analysis with qualitative approaches from the German and Anglo-Saxon tradition. He is particularly interested in propositional theories on subjectivity in language. Angermuller analyzes discourses as positioning practices in social communities and is particularly interested in the discursive construction of social order.
He was the project leader of the ERC DISCONEX research team, which examined the positioning practices and scientific cultures of researchers in the social sciences and humanities in the US, France, Germany and the UK. Since 2008, coordinated Angermuller discourse network , an interdisciplinary and international network in the field of discourse analysis.
