| description | The aim of the paper is to identify similarities and differences in
terms of the metaphors used to present the COVID-19 crisis in Romanian
and US articles. The paper is structured in two parts – a theoretical and
a practical one. The theoretical framework presents metaphors from the
cognitive linguistic perspective as a way to understand and explain reality,
metaphors playing a major part in human thinking. They are approached
in the paper as a subjective way of presenting reality, being indicative of
cultural differences. The practical part analyses thirteen Romanian and US
articles taken from broadsheet newspapers, focusing on three areas – the
presentation of the virus, people’s reaction to it, and the vaccine – in order
to see the types of metaphors and the source domains used. |
