Researching the title and sapo/lead 1 of articles is not a new topic. However, researching these two key elements of news articles from the perspective of linguistics, especially cognitive linguistics, remains relatively strange and receives little attention. The article examines the cognitive metaphor "Politics is War" in the title and lead of the newspapers Nhan Dan Online and The New York Times. Based on correspondences, the article identifies this conceptual metaphor, as well as the mapping mechanism between the "journey" domain and the "politics" domain within Vietnamese people's linguistic thinking. Based on logical relations in the organisation of the diagram of conceptual metaphor mapping, the article also identifies the distinct thinking behind conceptual structures of Vietnamese culture.

Trump’s framing of Covid-19 as a war and conspiracy theories

Remedies Against the Pandemic

The use of war-related metaphors by Western political leaders to frame the COVID19 pandemic has drawn strong criticism, both in the media and among critical discourse analysts. A particular reference point in such criticisms has been the long-standing critique of the illness-as war metaphor because it frames patients’ bodies as battlegrounds and favours ‘radical cure’ solutions that prioritize elimination of the illness as an enemy. This paper investigates the links between the pandemic as war metaphor scenario and Covid-19-related conspiracy theories in the sense of flawed, i.e. empirically and/or logically unwarranted theories (UCTs), with special reference to the anti-Chinese Covid-19-UCT that was used by the former US President Trump and other conspiracists who pretended to be in a situation of self-defense that entitled them to commit acts of resistance against a perceived war enemy. It is, however, important to distinguish routine uses of the war-metaphor from narratively elaborated, ideologically invested metaphor scenarios such as Trump’s appeal to fight the “China virus”. It is the latter that can best be exploited in conspiracy theories for their implications, e.g. the identification of supposed ‘culprits’ and ‘traitors’ and the legitimacy of ‘fighting back’ against them. For this reason, “reframing” efforts, which have been proposed for Covid-19 in terms of the pandemic as war metaphor, should not target whole source domains but concentrate specifically on critiquing those scenarios that lead to the stigmatization of social/national groups.
