The paper explores media representations of Xylella fastidiosa, the bacterium that causes severe plant diseases, using data from online sources in English which reported on the developments in the bacterium spreading and treatment from 2015 to 2020. 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 X. fastidiosa induced diseases and mobilising the necessary support. Based on the results, it may be argued that the language used in the media for describing X. fastidiosa 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.

This study aimed to explore the former US President Donald Trump's representation of "us" and "others" in his tweets related to COVID-19 and how he portrayed the representation of "us" and "others". 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 us-representation and others-representation. The results of this research indicate that Donald Trump portrayed a positive us-group and a negative others-group. 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 us-group and the negative ones about the others-group 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. Doctoral dissertation, Northern Arizona University, 2019).
本研究旨在探讨美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普在与新冠肺炎相关的推文中对“我们”和“他者”的表述,以及他如何描述“我们”和“他者”的表述。在这项研究中,与COVID-19相关的样本从2020年1月到5月不等,包括美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普发布的推文。为了分析新冠肺炎期间前总统唐纳德·特朗普推文的意识形态话语,Van Dijk(《媒介话语的方法》)提出了意识形态框架。采用Blackwell Publishing, 1997)来揭示“我们-表征”和“他者-表征”的潜在意图和意识形态。这项研究的结果表明,唐纳德·特朗普描绘了一个积极的“我们”群体和一个消极的“他人”群体。此外,论证/权威、比较、重复、大写和隐喻是前总统特朗普用来描绘这两个群体的典型策略。研究还发现,对美国组的正面评价和对其他组的负面评价并不总是一致的。例如,当给予两个群体相同的描述时,也会发生变化,这些描述很可能与群体的基本利益相一致(Van Dijk, in: Approaches to Media Discourse)。布莱克威尔出版社,1997)。这项研究的结果可能有助于分析总统在推特上的话语,这是一个相对较新的政治信息渠道(Kerbleski,在:特朗普,推特和树木:对唐纳德·特朗普围绕2018年11月加州野火的推文的批判性话语分析)。博士论文,北亚利桑那大学,2019)。
