Subject: Metaphors for Covid-19

 
Ines Olza (University of Navarra, Spain), Elena Semino and Veronika Koller
(both Lancaster University, UK) have started a crowd-sourcing project on
Twitter to collect alternatives to war metaphors to talk about corona virus
and Covid-19. Please join the conversation using the hashtag #ReframeCovid and
add more examples in this open-access document:

We are particularly interested in examples from non-European languages. All
contributions will of course be credited in any future presentations and
publications.
