Abstract:

This Element consists of ten short pieces written by prominent discourse
analysts in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each piece focuses on a
different aspect of the pandemic, from the debate over wearing face masks to
the metaphors used by politicians and journalists in different countries to
talk about the virus. Each of the pieces also makes use of a different
approach to analysing discourse (e.g. Critical Discourse Analysis, Genre
Analysis, Corpus Assisted Discourse Analysis) and demonstrates how that
approach can be applied to a small set of data. The aim of the Element is to
show how the range of tools available to discourse analysts can be brought to
bear on a pressing, 'real-world' problem, and how discourse analysis can
contribute to formulating 'real-world' solutions to the problem.
