  Abstract:  Commentaries from leading German and Luxembourg daily newspapers as indicators of social development in the two countries. Two commentaries from the leading German and Luxembourg daily newspapers are examined in regard to the same event, the controversy about the French right-wing satirist Dieudonné. It can be shown that his positions are rejected in both countries, to a significant extent. The semiotic interpretation shows, however, that in Germany the rejection is accepted by a large majority, whilst there exist differently thinking minorities, whereas such minority positions seem to be non-existent in Luxembourg. Another striking point is that the press of Luxembourg is plurilingual in spite of the fact that a new national language is in the process of being codified, whereas in Germany with an established national language only monolingual commentaries can be found.

Keywords: commentary, newspapers, choice of languages, semiotisc interpretation, right-wing positions
