The chapter argues that populism as a modern phenomenon is closely linked with the great democratic revolutions that, for the first time in history, addressed ‘the people’ as the sovereign, thereby constituting the modern citizen. Yet, ‘the people’ can and do draw boundaries between ‘us’ and ‘them’. In an analytical perspective the article suggests a distinction between three forms of populism, ‘organic populism’, ‘liberal economic populism’, and ‘liberal cultural populism’, that operate differently. Applying closure theory to these different forms allows understanding of the different processes of populist politics that today promote exclusion by applying differentiated strategies of social closure.
Introduction
(2018)
The rise of populism has promoted a broad, vivid and flourishing debate in the social sciences that seems to have arisen even in the face of the ties between right-wing populism and the extreme right. The social sciences are struggling with how properly to conceptualise and theorise populism as a social and political phenomenon. Incongruity or asynchrony of events in factual history and their being conceptualised is obviously critical with regard to the problems that arise with defining and conceptualising populism. The plurality of usages, applications and meanings of populism thus only shows how, in a vivid debate, scholars can observe a contest for coming to terms with a concept that remains in flux and that needs to be continually revised given rapidly changing social conditions. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
In 1916, three years after the death of Ferdinand de Saussure, the Cours de linguistique générale (CLG) was published in Geneva. This foundational work marked the beginning of a discipline that has profoundly influenced the development of the humanities ever since.
What sources influenced the CLG? Do the main concepts of this seminal work have the same validity today as they did in 1916? How has the recent development of language sciences influenced its reception? How does this text account for meaning and communication within the context of speech (parole)?
In order to explore these questions, one hundred years after the publication of Ferdinand de Saussure's seminal work on General Linguistics, Polis--The Jerusalem Institute of Languages and Humanities held an interdisciplinary conference that gathered 14 international specialists from various disciplines: general linguistics, pragmatics, philology, dialectology, translation studies, terminology, and philosophy.
The first section of this work reassesses the sources and further influence of the CLG on modern linguistics. The book's second part discusses some of the main concepts and dichotomies of the CLG (constitution of the linguistic method, arbitrariness of sign, main dichotomies), under the light of both the original manuscripts and recent linguistic developments (influence of dialectology or translation studies). The third and last part handles the pragmatic and semantic dimensions of language, suggesting new avenues of reflection that could not yet have been fully taken into account within the CLG itself.
Uniting 14 scholarly articles, together with an introduction, an index locorum and a collective bibliography, this volume hopes to encourage readers with its reappraisal and reinterpretation of Saussure's ground-breaking work and thus contribute to the future development of linguistics and humanities.
Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes tragen der Multidimensionalität und Multifunktionalität parenthetischer Einschübe Rechnung, die die internationale linguistische Forschung in den letzten Jahrzenten herausgearbeitet hat. In mehrheitlich korpusgestützten Untersuchungen wird gesprochenes und geschriebenes Deutsch sowie Deutsch kontrastiv zu romanischen Sprachen analysiert.

Mobile Endgeräte und Applikationen (Apps) sind dank vielfältiger Kommunikations-, Informations- und Assistenzfunktionen zu einem unverzichtbaren Bestandteil unseres täglichen Lebens geworden. Inzwischen hat sich insbesondere im Hochschulumfeld eine bunte Vielfalt an mobilen Unterstützungsangeboten etabliert, beginnend bei zentral angebotenen Uni-Apps bis hin zu unterschiedlichen Apps zur Ausgestaltung einzelner Lehrveranstaltungen oder individueller Lehr- und Lernszenarien. Angesichts der großen Aufwände zur Entwicklung, Distribution und Pflege mobiler Anwendungen ist ein Einsatz für eine möglichst große Zielgruppe wünschenswert. Dies kann jedoch mit dem Charakter mobiler Endgeräte als persönliche, individualisierte Assistenten kollidieren.
In diesem Beitrag werden entlang dieses Spektrums zwischen (fach-)spezifischen Einzellösungen und breiten Allroundern verschiedene mobile Unterstützungsangebote aus dem Hochschulbereich vorgestellt, hinsichtlich ihres Einsatzes kontextuell eingeordnet und systematisiert. Dies umfasst mobile Anwendungen, die allgemeine organisatorische Aspekte des Studiums, bestimmte Felder wie die Studieneingangsphase oder die konkrete Begleitung hybrider Lernszenarien fokussieren. Es schließt sich eine App-Auswahl an, die fachspezifischen Aspekten Rechnung trägt und in denen Inhalte in Form von Serious Games, Simulationen und Inhaltsmodulen aufbereitet sind. Neben Lehre und Studium wird auch die Forschung in den Fokus gerückt, wo Apps gleichermaßen als Forschungsgegenstand und Datenerhebungsinstrument wirken. Aus der Fülle dieser Entwicklungen resultiert eine App-Vielfalt, die verschiedene Herausforderungen aufwirft. Der Beitrag stellt die spezifischen Herausforderungen zusammen und spricht Empfehlungen aus. Dabei werden sowohl organisatorische, inhaltliche und technische Fragestellungen thematisiert als auch rechtliche Gesichtspunkte bezüglich Datenschutz und Copyright tangiert.
The grammatization of European vernacular languages began in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance and continued up until the end of the 18th century. Through this process, grammars were written for the vernaculars and, as a result, the vernaculars were able to establish themselves in important areas of communication. Vernacular grammars largely followed the example of those written for Latin, using Latin descriptive categories without fully adapting them to the vernaculars. In accord with the Greco-Latin tradition, the grammars typically contain sections on orthography, prosody, morphology, and syntax, with the most space devoted to the treatment of word classes in the section on “etymology.” The earliest grammars of vernaculars had two main goals: on the one hand, making the languages described accessible to non-native speakers, and on the other, supporting the learning of Latin grammar by teaching the grammar of speakers’ native languages. Initially, it was considered unnecessary to engage with the grammar of native languages for their own sake, since they were thought to be acquired spontaneously. Only gradually did a need for normative grammars develop which sought to codify languages. This development relied on an awareness of the value of vernaculars that attributed a certain degree of perfection to them. Grammars of indigenous languages in colonized areas were based on those of European languages and today offer information about the early state of those languages, and are indeed sometimes the only sources for now extinct languages. Grammars of vernaculars came into being in the contrasting contexts of general grammar and the grammars of individual languages, between grammar as science and as art and between description and standardization. In the standardization of languages, the guiding principle could either be that of anomaly, which took a particular variety of a language as the basis of the description, or that of analogy, which permitted interventions into a language aimed at making it more uniform.
