  • Framing Through Names and Titles in German
    Proceedings of the 12th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2020), pages 4924–4932 Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC Doctor Who? Framing Through Names and Titles in German Esther van den Berg∗z, Katharina Korfhagey, Josef Ruppenhofer∗z, Michael Wiegand∗ and Katja Markert∗y ∗Leibniz ScienceCampus, Heidelberg/Mannheim, Germany yInstitute of Computational Linguistics, Heidelberg University, Germany zInstitute for German Language, Mannheim, Germany fvdberg|korfhage|[email protected] fruppenhofer|[email protected] Abstract Entity framing is the selection of aspects of an entity to promote a particular viewpoint towards that entity. We investigate entity framing of political figures through the use of names and titles in German online discourse, enhancing current research in entity framing through titling and naming that concentrates on English only. We collect tweets that mention prominent German politicians and annotate them for stance. We find that the formality of naming in these tweets correlates positively with their stance. This confirms sociolinguistic observations that naming and titling can have a status-indicating function and suggests that this function is dominant in German tweets mentioning political figures. We also find that this status-indicating function is much weaker in tweets from users that are politically left-leaning than in tweets by right-leaning users. This is in line with observations from moral psychology that left-leaning and right-leaning users assign different importance to maintaining social hierarchies. Keywords: framing, naming, Twitter, German, stance, sentiment, social media 1. Introduction An interesting language to contrast with English in terms of naming and titling is German.

  • Is There a Case for Rekindled Democracy Assistance in Central
    Is there a case for rekindled democracy assistance in Central and Eastern Europe? International IDEA 25th Anniversary Europe Webinar Thursday 19 November, 11h00-13h00 Background In the two decades following the fall of the Berlin Wall, European and US governments undertook considerable efforts to support reforms for strengthening democratic governance in Central Europe. This support included efforts to foster multi-party politics and institutionalization of political parties, reforming public administration bodies, strengthening parliaments and judicial bodies, supporting independent media and civil society organizations – all vital pillars for a well-functioning democracy. After the Central and Eastern European countries joined the European Union, much of the international democracy assistance ended too, as western donors considered the region to have accomplished the necessary milestones in its democratic transformation and having passed the point of democratic no-return. Democracy’s checks-and-balances, they argued, had made a reversal toward non-democracy practically impossible. Throughout the last decade, this assumption of democratic irreversibility has come under increasing pressure. In 2019, the Global State of Democracy Indices measured that democracy in Central Europe had declined for the fourth consecutive year. In its 2020 report, Freedom House classified Hungary as a hybrid regime, having declined further from its earlier status of a semi-consolidated democracy, and thus breaking the standard of democratic conformity within the European Union, a multilateral body that itself aims to be a supporter of democracy worldwide. Civil society organizations, and more broadly civic space – which are conventionally considered key factors in building societal and institutional resilience against democratic backsliding – have become increasingly targeted.

  • 9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs
    9 March 2021 Peter Altmaier, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubertus Heil, Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Gerd Müller, Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development cc: Helge Braun, Head of the Federal Chancellery and Federal Minister for Special Tasks Heiko Maas, Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs Olaf Scholz, Federal Minister of Finance Dear Ministers Altmaier, Heil and Müller, I write as the former UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Business and Human Rights and author of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. It is my understanding that the German Cabinet has approved a draft law on corporate human rights and environmental due diligence in supply chains. It now goes to Parliament for its consideration. The law introduces human rights due diligence obligations initially for companies that employ at least 3,000 workers, and later for companies with at least 1,000 workers—which have their headquarters, principal place of business or registered office in Germany. It aims to improve human rights standards and practices in the operations and supply chains of those German companies. There are elements to welcome in the draft law. For example, companies are expected to examine how their own purchasing practices may help mitigate human rights and environmental risks. Moreover, the law recognizes the need for accountability measures to ensure that the due diligence obligation is meaningful. It focuses on permitting affected individuals to file a complaint with the regulatory oversight body, which has the power to determine if a company has breached its obligations and to issue fines if so.

November 2019 (www.spiegel.de/wirt schaft/bankenunion-olaf-scholz-gibt-blockade-der-eu-einlagensicherung-auf- a-1295057.html), dass der Bundesminister der Finanzen, Olaf Scholz, seine Blockade bei der europäischen Einlagensicherung aufgebe. Zusätzlich zu den nationalen Einlagesicherungssystemen, die jedes Mitglieds- land einrichten muss, soll nun ein europaweit tätiger Einlagensicherungsfonds gegründet werden. In diesen Fonds sollen die Banken jedes Mitgliedslandes einzahlen. Diese Beiträge sollen nicht in einem Gemeinschaftstopf untergehen. Stattdessen werde das Geld auf nationalen Konten angesammelt, von denen im Bedarfsfall den nationalen Einlagesicherungssystemen Liquidität über rück- zahlbare Darlehen zur Verfügung gestellt würde. Für Länder mit kleinem Ban- kensektor könne der Fonds sogar einen Teil der Verluste übernehmen, weil die Kreditinstitute dort wohl nicht in der Lage sein würden, den Kapitalpuffer wie- der aufzufüllen.
