This paper deals with the taxonomical position and the nomenclature of two taxa belonging to the genus Sedum (Crassulaceae), today treated as Phedimus, namely Sedum middendorffianum Maxim var. diffusum Praeger and Sedum oppositifolium Sims. The correct taxonomical application of names is based on the nomenclatural types designated here.
France, Italy, and Spain are three Romance-speaking countries which – at least in Europe – have been affected to a very high degree by the consequences of the Corona pandemic. This paper examines discursive strategies on social media (Twitter and Facebook) by the three heads of government/state of the aforementioned countries – namely Emmanuel Macron (France), Giuseppe Conte (Italy), and Pedro Sánchez (Spain)- from a corpuslinguistic point of view. For this purpose, a corpus was created which contains all Twitter and Facebook messages posted by these heads of government/state from the beginning of February until the end of April 2020. By applying corpus-linguistic methods we find that all three politicians consciously use social media to sensitize, inform, and – in view of a dramatic pandemic situation – unite their respective populations behind them.
