This article examines linguistic framing of Medellin as the city of the musical genre reggaeton in online media discourse, drawing on Fillmore’s frame semantics theory (1977). The most salient frames applied towards Medellin are those of centrality, home, and music, whereby the city’s global significance as a musical hub is emphasized through the terms belonging to the frame of world. The use of components from the frames of crime and drugs suggests that the drug-related past of Medellin is integrated into its new cultural profile. Another part of the new Medellin brand are the city’s residents themselves, who are credited with supporting local reggaetonero/as, and are typically referred to with overtly positive vocabulary from the frames of love, help, and home. Although some texts evoke negative stereotypes about reggaeton, the media mostly present the Medellin reggaeton scene through the frames of success, power, and business.

Purpose of the study: Given the immense spread of the Coronavirus disease, it is imperative to note how the leaders and governments approach the issue and the suggestions made to protect the people and not spread panic. Methodology: The study incorporates scrutiny of the available online media with official statements and news outlets made by state officials and leaders. Thus, one can note the implementation of qualitative comparative analysis to determine the difference in the attitudes and approaches of various world leaders to combat the disease.   Main Findings: Most world leaders acknowledge the threat Coronavirus poses to humanity yet are willing to sacrifice economic development for the survival of their people. Whereas others are more inclined to disregard the seriousness of the threat despite evidence of the lethal nature of the coronavirus and its effect upon people of all ages. Applications of this study: The application of the study is primarily in the assessment of the position of world leaders with regards to the assessment of their leadership qualities and the success or failure of their decisions in terms of fighting the onset of the disease. When humanity overcomes coronavirus, numerous world leaders are likely to lose their job with this utilized information being the reason. Novelty/Originality of this study: Considering the recent outbreak of the pandemic, no-one has utilized nor compared any of the information in terms of how the world leaders and various countries are combating the disease. This study provides a comparative analysis bringing successful and openly failed decisions to the fore of the society allowing every individual to assess the scope and effort made by the state.

COVID 19 – the invisible opponent. Military lexis in Russian media discourse During the coronavirus pandemic, linguistic innovations emerged in national languages, but many pre-existing words were also used to describe the new coronavirus reality. The purpose of the research is to analyze the implementation of the cognitive linguistic metaphor ‘Coronavirus is War’ in Russian media discourse. Using selected online media texts, specific words can be found that formulate the description of the fight against the pandemic in terms of war. Two main research findings emerge from this study. There are basic lexemes which enable activation of collective patterns of thought about the pandemic in terms of war. In the analyzed texts both narrowing and widening of the meaning of the keywords of the pandemic period can be seen. Lexical markers indicating the source domain of WAR are used regardless of the scale of the territory – it can be the world, country, city, hospital, apartment in which people protect themselves and others from the coronavirus. It can be concluded that military metaphor is effective in describing crisis situations such as the coronavirus pandemic. The use of this type of metaphor in media texts helps contain the threat, explain what is happening, as well as influence people’s behavior and direct their way of thinking to a specific domain. Keywords: coronavirus (COVID-19), military lexis, military metaphor, cognitive domain, media discourse

Makale, (çevrimiçi günlük gazeteler de dahil olmak üzere) Türk ve Çek çevrimiçi medyasını karşılaştırarak göçmen sağlığına ilişkin söylemlere odaklanan bir çözümlemenin sonuçlarını sunmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı, farklı göç seviyesine sahip iki ülke arasındaki farklılıklar ve benzerliklerle birlikte, Türk ve Çek çevrimiçi medyasında göçmen ve sağlığına ilişkin konuların nasıl ele alındığının ve ne tür söylemlerle temsil edildiğinin araştırılarak ülkelerin büyüklüğü ve nüfuslarına ilişkin sosyolojik bir kavrayış sağlamaktır. Bu nedenle metin, doğrudan göçmenlere ilişkin sağlık politikalarının analizinden ziyade güncel olayları kapsayan, üreten ve diyalektik olarak dönüştürürken dönüşen söylemlerle ilgilidir. Yazar, Türkçe ve Çekçe yazılı çevrimiçi medyada yer alan birtakım medya söylemlerinin, yüksek bir genelleme söz konusu olduğunda, analitik olarak ayırt edilmesinin mümkün olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH Media Discourse on Migrants during the Covid-19 Outbreak: Comparison of Turkish and Czech Written Online Media The article presents the results of analysis focused on discourses related to the health of migrants amidst the Coronavirus outbreak comparing Turkish online media with Czech online media (including selected on-line daily newspapers). The aim of the research is to provide a sociological understanding of the differences and similarities between the two countries with a differing immigration levels, and the size of their territories and populations by exploring the ways how migrants and their health have been referred to and by what discourses they were represented by in Turkish and Czech electronic (online) media. Therefore, the text does not deal directly with the analysis of health policies regarding migrants but with discourses surrounding, producing, and dialectically being formed by and forming the current events. The author argues that, at a high level of generalization, it is feasible to analytically distinguish several media discourses in Turkish and Czech written electronic media.

Thearticle is devoted to the analysis of hate speech manifestations in British online mass media based on case of the tabloid Mail Online (national newspaper Daily Mail’s web site).There have been defined and classified the lexical markers of hate speech. Although there are multiple definitions of the phenomenon provided by authors from different disciplines, hate speech remains one of the hot subjects of research in sociolinguistics and media studies. Its main feature is negative representation of all kinds of minorities (ethnic, racial, gender etc.), migrants, refugees, internally displaced persons, women, and any other social groups, which are not in mainstream social positions. Media discourse is being dehumanized and weaponized by usage of verbal aggression, which is seen as a social condition for committing hate crimes. In this paper, the author discusses the linguistic ways of creating of hate speech objects’negative images, in particular hate speech based on religious intolerance towards Muslims. Critical analysis of British media discourse showed that over past ten years the islamophobic rhetoric is widely present in UK press, especially in sensational mass tabloids like Daily Mail. The pool of analyzed texts proved that Muslims are often associated with criminals, terrorists, extremists, killers, less educated and unwilling to work, aggressive and dangerouspeople. Linguistic tools for creating such imagesare investigated in the article. First, using nouns and adjectives with highly negative connotations for describing Muslims. Second, using narrative styles for splitting society into ‘ingroups’ and ‘outgroups’ (so called ‘WE-groups’ and ‘THEY-groups’) by comparing and contrasting in sentence and word structures, where ‘we-group’ is always positive and ‘outgroup’ – negative. Third, using suggestive manipulative techniques for creating negative associations: rhetoric questions for imposing certain answers and highly emotional words-labels. The paper provides examples of hate speech manifestations and opens ground for further research of current infodemia caused by Covid-19 pandemic, which is being used for growing hate speech practices worldwide, especially in English-language online media as those with multimillion readership and geopolitical power.

The process of the new commissioner election and the amendment to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) received public attention due to the controversial agenda and arguably had weakened the KPK. The purpose of this study is to describe the discourse of Kompas.com, CNN Indonesia, and Republika.co.id regarding corruption after the amendment of the KPK law using Teun Van Dijk's critical discourse method and news text analysis unit from 21 December 2019-29 February 2020. The results found that at the level of macro structure, superstructure, and micro structure, the three online media discourse advocacy and support for the KPK and criticism of Joko Widodo's government in detail, systematically, and with minimal lexicons and metaphors, and represent public aspirations for the KPK as an independent institution in eradicating corruption. The results on the macro, superstructure, and micro-level showed that Kompas.com established defense and support discourse to the Commission to Eradicate Criminal Acts of Corruption through detailed, systematic reporting, without lexicons and metaphors. Contrastingly, CNN Indonesia emphasized on the facts of real actions taken by the Corruption Eradication Commission in combating corruption and the amount of losses. Moreover, Republika.co.id emphasized on the weakness in the revised law of the KPK and reinforces its hypothesis of the news with the proper metaphor.
