Abstract
This paper explores the newspaper texts about Covid-19 from the point of view of emotions. New Zealand has been chosen for the country where Coronovirus pandemic was kept at bay for a long time. But after the cases started to escalate, the situation changed and the tone of newspapers changed, too. The analysis showed the dependence of emotions in the texts and the rise of Covid-19 cases as an indicator of danger. The article analyses three phases of the situation in New Zealand with Covid, such as phase 1 when the number of new cases was controlled, phase 2 when the number of new cases was quickly escalating, and phase 3 when the number of new cases was still high but not so quickly changing. The corpora were analyzed from the point of view of negative and positive reaction to the situation of pandemic escalation in the world and in New Zealand. The findings show a strong relation of the social and textual contexts.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this international refereed journal is to promote original research into cross-language and cross-cultural studies in general, and Arabic-English contrastive and comparative studies in particular. Within this framework, the journal welcomes contributions to such areas of interest as comparative literature, contrastive textology, contrastive linguistics, lexicology, stylistics, and translation studies. The journal is also interested in theoretical and practical research on both English and Arabic as well as in foreign language education in the Arab world. Reviews of important, up-to- date, relevant publications in English and Arabic are also welcome. In addition to articles and book reviews, IJAES has room for notes, discussion and relevant academic presentations and reports. These may consist of comments, statements on current issues, short reports on ongoing research, or short replies to other articles. The International Journal of Arabic-English Studies (IJAES) is the forum of debate and research for the Association of Professors of English and Translation at Arab Universities (APETAU). However, contributions from scholars involved in language, literature and translation across language communities are invited.
