ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS REFLECTING THE PERIOD OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IN ENGLISH
Abstract
In this article, online journalistic texts that reflect the conceptual metaphor of covid 19 related to the pandemic period are interpreted as a ready resource for studying how humanity perceives the pandemic. A conceptual metaphor analysis of metaphors related to COVID-19 on English-language social media platforms was conducted using the theory of critical metaphor analysis. According to various socio- historical factors, as well as the active choices of users in expressing their values and judgments, texts in which metaphors of war,
disaster and zombies are widely used were analyzed and described with examples.
