论文摘要
这项贡献介绍了意大利在线报纸的Covid-19危机最初几个月的比喻语言。尤其是,我们将记者在政府对大流行的第一阶段和第二阶段中使用的主题和隐喻语言进行了对比。分析是在2月24日至2020年6月3日之间收集的新闻语料库进行的。分析是使用定量和定性方法,结合结构主题模型的定量和定性方法(Roberts et and councess and。和基于定性的隐喻分析(Charteris-Black,2004年)。我们发现在第1阶段和第2阶段讨论的主题发生了重大变化,并且在特定于主题的隐喻中有趣的重叠。使用定性语料库分析,我们提出了一个更深入的案例研究,讨论了经济和社会主题的隐喻搭配
The contribution presents a study on figurative language of the first months of the COVID-19 crisis in Italian online newspapers. Particularly, we contrast topics and metaphorical language used by journalists in the first and second phase of the government response to the pandemic in Spring 2020. The analysis is conducted on a journalistic corpus collected between February 24th and June 3rd, 2020. The analysis is performed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, combining Structural Topic Modelling (Roberts et al. 2016), Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980), and qualitative-corpus based metaphor analysis (Charteris-Black, 2004). We find a significant shift in topics discussed across Phase 1 and Phase 2, and interesting overlaps in topic-specific metaphors. Using qualitative corpus analysis, we present a more in-depth case study discussing metaphorical collocations of the topics of Economy and Society
