“…In Example (5), we found a conceptual metaphor, COVID-19 IS DRAMA, as it is metaphorically described as a dramatic, sudden event. Nonetheless, it is comforting to realize that as a drama, COVID-19 has a beginning and an end, just like journey metaphors (Pasaribu, 2016;Selmistraitis and Boikova, 2020). As shown in Example (5), there is always hope that we can get through this crisis and the drama shall end in renewed and better economic justices.…”

This article investigated how metaphors for COVID-19 were framed in a Catholic-based journal Thinking Faith. Data, consisting of 107 metaphors, were collected from the online journal and were analyzed within the Jesuit perspectives. Results showed that out of the 107 occurrences of metaphoric expressions for the pandemic, the source domains tend to have reflective and empowering aspects. The 12 main source domains of COVID-19 were war, drama, tools, natural forces, journey, manageable item, teacher, other living beings, darkness, pain, threat, and signs of the times. The coverage of Thinking Faith aimed to show the life-changing wisdom of the Gospel, Catholic Social Teaching, and Papal messages. Positive or neutral word choices of metaphors like teacher, drama, journey, manageable items, natural forces, and signs of the times managed to spark hopefulness for the journal readership. Meanwhile, the violence-related metaphors war, pain, and threat may appear to be discouraging. Overall, the metaphors used in the Jesuit online journal were contextually heartening

“…Автор также концентрирует внимание на сферах-источниках метафорической экспансии, отмечая преобладание следующих метафор: unity ('объединение'), war ('война'), journey ('путешествие'), human characteristics ('персонификация') и navigation ('навигация'). Основной причиной этого видится четкость, ясность, привычность данных сфер для избирателей и коллег [Pasaribu, 2016].…”

“…The metaphorical dynamics in political idiolects still remains a completely undeveloped area, since all the studies in this field have been synchronic (Ivanović, 2017;Kamalu & Iniworikabo, 2016;Lu & Ahrens, 2008;Pasaribu, 2016;Penninck, 2014;Semino & Masci 1996;Xue, Mao, & Li, 2013;Kameneva & Perevalova, 2012;Tsvetkova, 2013;Chudinov & Nikiforova, 2018;Xiaoxiao, 2016). While it is important to study the main linguistic tools (including metaphorical ones) used by a particular political figure, it is equally important to research the metaphorical dynamics and reasons behind them.…”
