“…31 Constitutions usually make a distinction between the rules for political decision-making (procedure), and the decisions themselves (substance). 32 This, Grimm explains, insulates fundamental values and processes from day to day pressures and conflicts, making the constitution stable yet adaptive to uncertainty and change. 33 Because of constitutions' elevated status and shared values, people may be more likely to respect and follow them than ordinary laws and regulations concerned with moremundane aspects of daily life.…”

Laws that recognise rivers and their ecosystems as legal persons or subjects with their own rights, duties and obligations have been associated with theories of environmental constitutionalism. However, the extent to, and manner in which, constitutional law (with its elevated status) has been instrumental in the conferral of these 'riverine rights' is still not well-understood. In this article, we consider the constitutional relevance of the recognition of rivers as legal persons or subjects in Aotearoa New Zealand, Colombia and India. We argue that in these three countries riverine rights are constitutional experiments: as small-scale, ad hoc and ultimately incomplete attempts to transcend seemingly ineffective regulatory frameworks for rivers. However, they are also incremental, and influential, steps in a broader project of more fundamental social and environmental reform.

“…(Voltaire 1749: 6) Später nun lobt Voltaire ausdrücklich D'Olivet und gibt an, so wie dieser mit Racine verfahren sei, wolle er selbst nun Molière einem "examen plus approfondi de la pureté de la Langue" unterziehen. Eine solche Sprachkritik sei nicht nur dem Ausländer, sondern auch den Franzosen von Nutzen 26 : Je veux entrer ici dans un examen plus aprofondi de la pureté de la Langue, & j'ai choisi exprès la belle Comédie du Misantrope, de même que M. l'Abbé D'Olivet a Ralph Ludwig/Sabine Schwarze 112 Poësie et de l'Éloquence dans la Langue française und D'Olivets Remarques de grammaire sur Racine jedenfalls beiGrimm (2005) nicht gesehen.26 Le français, par la marche naturelle de toutes ses constructions, et aussi par sa prosodie, est plus propre qu'aucune autre à la conversation. Les étrangers, par cette raison même, entendent plus aisément les livres français que ceux des autres peuples.…”

The official speech standard of the court called bon usage, established in the 17 th century, develops into a speech standard based on literature at the end of the 17 th and beginning of the 18 th century. The aim of this article is to interpret the metalinguistic discourse that develops within this setting as an interweaving of the traditional postulate of naturalness and clarity and the explaining modes of the language philosophical thinking of the French Enlightenment. Despite the growing importance of the philosophical and scientific discourse, the symbolic quality of the literary language remains more important. This language norm based on literary texts advances to a cultural pattern of usage through the Enlightenment and the establishment of a general educational system, which the proponents of the Enlightenment postulated. Every Frenchman who wants to appear educated uses it, by which repetition it becomes a decisive mode of everyday communication. Nowadays, the many processes of disintegration of the orientation towards this standard can only be understood on the basis of the 18 th century, since they transport the linguistic cultural heritage of the Enlightenment through a kind of dialectic, antithetic tension and synthesis.
