خطاب الوباء في الأدب و الإعلام : دراسة لسانية اجتماعية

Abstract EN

This study aims at exploring the social impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Moroccan society; including the change, it brought about in mass media, wherein language is a central component.

In addition, we have discussed the role of the scholar in the analysis and documentation of urgent situations, such as Covid-19, and their concomitant consequences.

We have adopted in this study an inductive method, which proceeds through description and explanation of the phenomenon on the linguistic, social, historical and psychological levels.

−− We attempted to answer four main questions: −− What is the social and psychological impact of the spread of corona virus on the Moroccan society? −− How does the Moroccan mass media respond to this phenomenon? −− What change does the outbreak of the virus bring about in the mass media? −− How does literature mirror society by reflecting, documenting and raising consciousness for such a phenomenon? This study yielded important results and recommendations, among which are: the crucial role-played by mass media in crises management and limitation of their effects, and the call for a rethinking of the contemporary mass media discourse so that it becomes more effective and efficient in responding to socially deplorable pandemics
