Abstract

V originále

The paper introduces the possible contribution that Cognitive Linguistics can make in Chinese studies at the time of Covid-19. It proposes several Covid-19 related research topics from the perspective of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), a useful theoretical apparatus that allows for systematic research of the discourse around various social phenomena.
