samfundssind is a compound noun of ‘samfund’ (society) and ‘sind’ (mind). It dates back to 1936. Hygge – which roughly translates to ‘a quality of cosiness’ – may be the most appropriated Danish word of the past decade, but it’s samfundssind that’s really come to define the nation in the era of Covid-19. If hygge is something you practice with people you know, samfundssind is more of a behaviour towards those you might not know. Rarely used until just a few months ago, it’s now entered th Danish vernacular in an explosive way. |

“Not all areas of discourse are equally open and penetrable; some are forbidden territory while others are virtually open to all. Religious discourse, juridical and therapeutic as well as political discourse are all barely dissociable from the functioning of a ritual that determines the individual properties and agreed roles of the speakers” [Foucault, Michel. The Discourse on Language // The Routledge Language and Cultural Theory Reader: London and New York, 2000. – P. 236.]

Это был первый финал турнира Большого шлема россиянина, и после волнующей борьбы после двух сетов он в конце концов проиграл Надалю эпический пятисеттер.

“In many societies such as Haiti, diglossia is operative, often related to class and upward mobility. The poorer classes speak Haitian creole, while the upper classes speak French. But with growing nationalism, there has been a movement to make Creole, the minor language, into the major language and the signifier of Haitian nationalism and independence. Such asymmetrical stratification of languages is universal” [Rubel, 2003: 17]

Some years ago, there was a series of stories in a magazine about dates that did not go well. In one of the stories, a woman met her date at a Mexican restaurant. When they ordered dinner, her companion asked for tortillas, but he pronounced the word "dor-dee-yas." Although he did not know it, the hapless gentleman's pronunciation proved to be a shibboleth that meant there would be no second date.Е
