Metaphors of War and Disease in Media Reports from The Early Days of the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020) and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022). The Analysis of Articles in "Gazeta Wyborcza"

Summary/Abstract: In this article, metaphors of disease and war that emerged during the first two weeks of the epidemic (2020) and the war in Ukraine (2022) are subjected to analysis. Metaphors are treated as tools that allow the reorganisation and ordering of knowledge and social experiences related to traumatic events (epidemic, war). They are also considered indicators of societal attitudes toward extraordinary, incomprehensible events and threatening social order. The recognised metaphors of disease and war from the literature are presented. Against this background, an analysis of narratives appearing in the "Gazeta Wyborcza" newspaper is conducted. War metaphors describing the pandemic and disease metaphors describing the war are also examined.
