Abstract
In this study I attempt to demonstrate how Zygmunt Bauman’s insights published in his book entitled Liquid Fear (2006) benefit the cognitive study of the emotion of fear by drawing correspondences between Bauman’s liquid reality and the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on my, largely unpublished, linguistic study of fear and on metaphors pervading Bauman’s work, I extrapolated key components of the fear frame. Having also conducted the study of concepts that dominated the Covid-19 media narratives, I relate and analyse the validity and transferability of conceptual domains within selected contextual models of social and verbal behaviours related to fear. Bauman’s metaphorical observations are woven into the analytical patchwork of this paper.
期刊介绍：
Research in Language (RiL) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent studies in the area of linguistics and related disciplines focused on human communication. Language studies, as other scholarly disciplines, undergo two seemingly counteracting processes: the process of diversification of the field into narrow specialized domains and the process of convergence, strengthened by interdisciplinarity. It is the latter perspective that RiL editors invite for the journal, whose aim is to present language in its entirety, meshing traditional modular compartments, such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and offer a multidimensional perspective which exposes varied but relevant aspects of language, e.g. the cognitive, the psychological, the institutional aspect, as well as the social shaping of linguistic convention and creativity.
