摘要

从新冠肺炎大流行开始，世界各地的政府、卫生机构、公共机构和媒体就使用隐喻来谈论病毒、其影响以及减少其传播所需的措施。在这些隐喻中占主导地位的是战争隐喻（如战斗、前线、战斗），它将病毒描述为需要战斗和击败的敌人。由于各种原因，这些隐喻吸引了来自不同社会主体的前所未有的批评。作为回应，#ReframeCovid诞生于一个开放、合作和非规定的倡议，旨在收集任何语言的新冠肺炎战争隐喻的替代品，并（批判性地）反思有关病毒的比喻语言的使用、其影响和应对措施。本文总结了该倡议的背景、目标、发展和迄今为止的主要成果，并呼吁隐喻界的学者在他们自己的基础和应用研究项目中加入并使用#ReframeCovid集合。

The #ReframeCovid initiative

From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments, health agencies, public institutions and the media around the world have made use of metaphors to talk about the virus, its effects and the measures needed to reduce its spread. Dominant among these metaphors have been war metaphors (e.g. battles, front lines, combat), which present the virus as an enemy that needs to be fought and beaten. These metaphors have attracted an unprecedented amount of criticism from diverse social agents, for a variety of reasons. In reaction, #ReframeCovid was born as an open, collaborative and non-prescriptive initiative to collect alternatives to war metaphors for COVID-19 in any language, and to (critically) reflect on the use of figurative language about the virus, its impact and the measures taken in response. The paper summarises the background, aims, development and main outcomes to date of the initiative, and launches a call for scholars within the metaphor community to feed into and use the #ReframeCovid collection in their own basic and applied research projects.

期刊介绍： The journal Metaphor and the Social World aims to provide a forum for researchers to share with each other, and with potential research users, work that explores aspects of metaphor and the social world. The term “social world” signals the importance given to context (of metaphor use), to connections (e.g. across social, cognitive and discourse dimensions of metaphor use), and to communication (between individuals or across social groups). The journal is not restricted to a single disciplinary or theoretical framework but welcomes papers based in a range of theoretical approaches to metaphor, including discourse and cognitive linguistic approaches, provided that the theory adequately supports the empirical work. Metaphor may be dealt with as either a matter of language or of thought, or of both; what matters is that consideration is given to the social and discourse contexts in which metaphor is found. Furthermore, “metaphor” is broadly interpreted and articles are welcomed on metonymy and other types of figurative language. A further aim is to encourage the development of high-quality research methodology using metaphor as an investigative tool, and for investigating the nature of metaphor use, for example multi-modal discourse analytic or corpus linguistic approaches to metaphor data. The journal publishes various types of articles, including reports of empirical studies, key articles accompanied by short responses, reviews and meta-analyses with commentaries. The Forum section publishes short responses to papers or current issues.
