- Metaphors help people understand the world, and in this study, researchers looked at how newspapers in Pakistan described Covid-19 using WAR metaphors.
- They examined 50 newspaper editorials, searching for language that linked the virus to military terms like BATTLE and SOLDIERS to show how it was seen as a dangerous enemy.
- The study found that these war-like descriptions were used to create urgency and encourage people to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
