According to the GfdS jury, “there has always been a crisis”, but this year, “the crises and their management seem to be culminating.”
«We are surrounded by crises. Crises not yet overcome such as climate change, the war between Russia and Ukraine or the energy crisis are being reached by new crises. The war in the Middle East, inflation and the debt crisis were added, and the education crisis also worsened,” the statement added.
For some time now the “state of exception” has become a “permanent state” and “feelings such as insecurity, fear, anger, helplessness and helplessness characterize the daily lives of many people,” he continues.
«Finding an adequate way to confront, between apathy and alarmism, the continuous exceptional situations becomes difficult. From the linguistic point of view, this is observed in a growing radicalization of speech in the public sphere,” he indicates.
In tenth place among the ten finalists is the kiss scandal not consented that the former president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) Luis Rubiales gave to the Spanish player Jenni Hermoso in celebration of the victory of the Spanish team in the last World Cup in Australia.
“The incident sparked a debate about sexism in Spain and in many other countries, including Germany, and Rubiales was forced to resign,” the jury notes.
They complete the list of finalists in second place anti-Semitism (anti-Semitism), followed by unable to read (lack of reading skills and comprehension) and KI-Boom (rise of artificial intelligence).
He is also among the finalists Ampelzoff (traffic light fight), alluding to the discrepancies between the parties that form the government coalition – social democrats, liberals and greens – and the colors of those who represent them – red, yellow and green.
The list also includes hybrid warfare (hybrid war), Migration brake (stop migration) and Billion hole (millionaire hole), alluding to a recent ruling by the Constitutional Court that affects the current budgets and those of subsequent years and that is forcing the government to decide on cuts.
part-time company (part-time society) also appears on the list and refers to the growing tendency to want to reduce the time that work steals from leisure.
The jury of the GfdS – an association created in 1947 to promote awareness and interest in the German language, as well as advise on its use – annually chooses the terms that have dominated public debate for practically the entire year.
