Two directions of analysis are pursued, the quantitative and qualitative one. Quantitative analysis reveals that the bacterium and its effects are described via the terms belonging to the lexical fields of fear, diseases, change, the supernatural, hostility, destruction, killing and war, with the latter three being the most dominant statistically speaking. Further, qualitative analysis attests that some of these terms are used metaphorically as instantiations of the war metaphor, which is generally effective in communicating the severity of the <i>X. fastidiosa</i> induced diseases and mobilising the necessary support. Based on the results, it may be argued that the language used in the media for describing <i>X. fastidiosa</i> fits into the prevalent \"catastrophe discourse\", with the purpose of raising awareness of the gravity of the threat the bacterium poses, as well as justifying the severe measures undertaken to contain it.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41701-022-00129-4.</p>","PeriodicalId":52343,"journal":{"name":"Corpus Pragmatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9629884/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40672108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the sample related to COVID-19 which ranged from January to May 2020, consisted of the tweets posted by the former US President Donald Trump. To analyze the ideological discourse of the former President Donald Trump's tweets during COVID-19, the ideological framework proposed by Van Dijk (Approaches to Media Discourse. Blackwell Publishing, 1997) was adopted to reveal the underlying intentions and ideologies of <i>us</i>-representation and <i>others</i>-representation. The results of this research indicate that Donald Trump portrayed a positive <i>us-group</i> and a negative <i>others-group</i>. Moreover, argumentation/authority, comparison, repetition, capitalization, and metaphors are the typical strategies that former President Trump used to portray both groups. It was also found that the positive opinions about the <i>us-group</i> and the negative ones about the <i>others-group</i> were not always consistent. For example, there were also changes when the same descriptions were given to both groups, which may well be coherent concerning the basic interests of the groups (Van Dijk, in: Approaches to Media Discourse. Blackwell Publishing, 1997). The findings of this study may contribute to an analysis of the president's discourse on Twitter, which is a relatively recent channel for political information (Kerbleski, in: Trump, Twitter, and the trees: a critical discourse analysis of Donald Trump's tweets surrounding the november 2018 California Wildfires.
