- The Covid-19-pandemic has, among other things, amplified the relevance of questions of justice and social togetherness, thereby also underlining the importance of ethical issues. Against this backdrop, this study analyses social togetherness as a societal aspect of the pandemic and how it is legitimised in political speeches. How is the social environment discursively recaptured in a situation where contact restrictions and other measures form part of a new reality, and by what means is it legitimised? To what extent is the idea of individual responsibility important? The data analysed comprise selected speeches by Angela Merkel and Cyril Ramaphosa in order to map out similarities and differences in a discourse-comparative perspective. Ideology, lines of argumentation (legitimation) and frames are examined in this contribution, which is situated in the field of language and politics. The study discloses that Merkel is oriented towards persons, individual responsibility and illustrative examples, whereas Ramaphosa rather invokes the nation as a collective and puts more effort into naming and explaining specific measures.

Sprach- und Geschichtsgebrauch. Apartheid-Analogien in deutschen Medientexten nach 1994 : Use of language and history. Analogies of apartheid in German media texts after 1994

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article focuses on present day usage of historical analogies with the word Apartheid (once a positive political key word in its Afrikaans context) in German compounds. The underlying idea is that historical analogies aim at conceptualising events from the past to capture a phenomenon in the present. The corpus comprises media texts from four German daily and weekly newspapers 1994-2014, i.e. in the post-apartheid era. Among the 3101 compounds (tokens) with Apartheid as the first or last constituent, there are 204 referring metaphorically to something else than systematic racial segregation in southern Africa. Two dominant thematic fields can be found. First, Apartheid is used in contexts concerning gender relations, specifically in a religious and foremost Islamic framework, and second, in the context of Israel/Palestine. Thus, gender relations and the treatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government are conceptualised as a kind of apartheid.
