A CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS OF CRITICAL STRATEGIES in COVID-19 CORPORA

Abstract

The aim of this study is expected to find whether the word critical frequently modifies COVID-19 or HIV, and are the type of critical strategies that frequently appear on the corpora.COVID-19 becomes the outbreak issue which is considered as a big problem from everyone in the world. It spreads rapidly from human to human. COVID-19 does not repute as something trifled, because it zaps undetected person in person. Besides, the existence of HIV still becomes the specter of today’s issues. These phenomena summon everyone to conduct the research in a medical perspective or even associate the result in a linguistic perspective. To reach further expanding, mixed method or commonly is used to call as quantitative and qualitative collaboration method. The result showed the T-score of COVID-19 > P value (4.548827 > 1.658). Hence, the proof meant word critical was most significantly modified COVID-19 rather than HIV. Besides, other result represent indirect criticism as the most frequent presence of critical strategies, by the keywords ‘coronavirus may’ displayed 137 (0.49 per million) tokens, ‘ coronavirus is quite’ displayed 3 (0.01 per million) tokens, and ‘coronavirus probably’ displayed 8 (0.03 per million) tokens.
 Keywords: Corpus-Based Analysis, Critical Strategies, COVID-19

The words that make fake stories go viral: A corpus-based approach to analyzing Russian Covid-19 disinformation

“…The growing application of the corpus-based approach to text analysis (e.g., Chen et al 2020, Muslimah 2020, Lu et al 2021) can be attributed to the fact that it offers a number of efficient tools for exploring large amounts of digital data, searching for lexical and structural units and evaluating their statistical significance (Kytö 2010). However, the choice of the tools for performing corpora in-depth investigation depends on the research agenda, and we should first outline the objectives that are achievable within the framework of the study.…”

“…In particular, quantitative and qualitative collaboration method can be applied to explore a wide range of issues from discourse characteristics of different text types to influence of Covid-19 on language patterns. Muslimah revealed high frequency of critical strategies in digital content about the new coronavirus based on the frequency of the corresponding tokens representing indirect criticism (Muslimah 2020).…”
