  • Corpus-assisted analysis of water flow metaphors in Slovene online news migration discourse of 2015
    Fijavž, Zoran ; Fišer, Darja, 1978-
    The chapter examines metaphorical expressions of water flow in online news from the national public broadcasting service during the period of increased migration through Slovenia in 2015. Existing ... critical discourse research on migration in Slovenia from that period shows that water flow metaphors were used to highlight the threatened safety of citizens and state, while occluding concerns for the safety of the refugees and serving as a justification for bor-der militarization. With theoretical grounding in conceptual metaphor theory, this chapter uses corpus-based critical discourse analysis to examine a corpus of 215 news articles from a public broadcaster using the Pragglejazz meta-phor identification method. The results show that the words in the identified metaphorical expressions were nearly never used in the literal sense and that metaphorical expressions were ubiquitous in the discourse. They were used by most journalists and increased in frequency throughout the examined period. While most frequently found in reported statements, water flow metaphorical expressions were also used in journalists' own voice, suggesting that the metaphorical frame was mediatized and reproduced without significant contesta-tion by the broadcaster. The chapter also compares the use of metaphorical expressions across various terms used for those migrating, finding that while all terms were used within metaphorical expressions, migrant was not used in non-metaphorical descriptions of the people arriving.
