As part of the Swiss COVIDisc project, this article demonstrates and discusses the possibilities of the Contrastive Discourse Linguistics in interlingual, intralingual and transnational contexts. The focus is on comparative analysis of the German and Italian COVID-19 discourse in Switzerland, with the objective of a deeper understanding of differences and similarities at the level of their discursive rules and patterns of language use. Following a short presentation of the research design and corpus, possible tertia comparationis are pointed out and discourse-typical actor roles are exemplarily analyzed. The conclusions summarize methodological and application-related findings.

Abstract

As part of the Swiss COVIDisc project, this article demonstrates and discusses the possibilities of the Contrastive Discourse Linguistics in interlingual, intralingual and transnational contexts. The focus is on comparative analysis of the German and Italian COVID-19 discourse in Switzerland, with the objective of a deeper understanding of differences and similarities at the level of their discursive rules and patterns of language use. Following a short presentation of the research design and corpus, possible tertia comparationis are pointed out and discourse-typical actor roles are exemplarily analyzed. The conclusions summarize methodological and application-related findings.
