The master dashboard screen on a highly-technical computer: The metaphorical portrayal of the IMMUNE SYSTEM in English and Serbian popular medical discourse by Nadežda Silaški

“…Due to the increased interest in immunity and the immune system, mostly triggered by the recent Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a proliferation of online texts dealing with these concepts in an easily accessible manner. In this paper we compare the metaphorical portrayals of the IMMUNE SYSTEM in 84 English and Serbian online magazine articles and blog posts, mostly published in the period 2020-2023, and investigate how such metaphorical representations facilitate the explanation of this abstract concept to non-experts and respond to new communicative contexts. …”
