隱喻於政治演講是一個用來表達政治家意志不可或缺的媒介。過去的研究中,新冠病毒在世界各地的總統演講被隱喻為戰爭的象徵。然而,鮮少研究探討新冠病毒的擬人化象徵。本研究透過蒐集第46屆美國總統拜登所發表的新冠病毒為主題的演講,進而分析拜登如何運用概念性特徵以說服美國民眾去遵守官方宣導。我們總共蒐集並分析七十二篇有關於總統拜登的新冠肺炎演講。我們採用了Gibbs (2011) 演講者為主軸的同質概念化映射 (speaker-based conceptual homogeneous mapping facet)、Charteris-Black (2004) 政治隱喻 (political metaphor) 概念、來展示疫情期間下的混和隱喻情境。本研究採用了上述兩種理論以用來分析總統拜登的措辭選擇及隱喻情境。我們試圖探討兩個主要研究問題: (1a) 根據Gibbs (2011) 演講者為主軸的同質概念化映射理論,拜登運用何種形式去概念化新冠病毒? (1b) 拜登最常運用何種概念化特色以架構新冠病毒? (2) 根據Charteris-Black (2004) 政治隱喻,拜登運用何種政治隱喻去安撫人心? 研究結果顯示,拜登運用了三種概念化特徵,包括剛毅、變動、以及層次特徵以用來置入在四類政治隱喻,包括旅程、建構、衝突、光與火隱喻以鋪陳美國政府對於規畫未來新冠肺炎政策的走向。三個概念化特徵中,剛毅特徵(n=53, 60.97%)為拜登在演講中所運用最頻繁之特徵。本研究貢獻主要提供一種綜合化的研究方法來調查演講者為主軸之概念化策略對於新冠肺炎的形象化理解,其中合併了以特徵為主軸之概念化策略以及政治隱喻來反映出演講者的口語策略。本研究表明政治家發表演講之思維的重要性。另外,此研究可為相關研究者提供思考方向有關於疫情狀況下政治家所運用之隱含寓意情境;對於民眾來說,也能提供了解政治家言論背後的潛在含意。

Figurative language in political speeches is an indispensable medium to convey politicians' willpower. Previous literature reveals that coronavirus is framed as symbol of war from worldwide presidential remarks. Nevertheless, few studies investigate the human-based conceptualization of coronavirus. To fill the gap, the current study aims to investigate how Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, known as Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, utilizes conceptualized features as a persuasive tool in his COVID-19 remarks towards the Americans. Also, seventy-two corona-based speeches delivered by Biden are collected and analyzed. We have adopted Gibbs (2011) speaker-based conceptual homogeneous mapping facet, and Charteris-Black's (2004) political metaphor to illustrate the hybrid form of metaphorical scenarios during COVID-19 pandemic period. The reason why we incorporate the two theories is to observe Biden's framing usages and his metaphorical scenarios in pathogenic context. We have sought to address the two main research questions: (1a) Based on Gibbs (2011) speaker-based conceptual homogeneous mapping facet, what types of framing features does Biden conceptualize the coronavirus? (1b) What are the most common types of framing features in framing coronavirus? (2) Based on Charteris-Black's (2004) political metaphors, what types of political metaphors does Biden utilize to relieve audiences' worries? The results have shown that President Biden has utilized four political metaphors, including [journey], [building], [conflict], and [light & fire] metaphors with the focus on applying three types of framing features, including the features "sturdy, "fluctuating,' and "level" to conceptualize his wordings to depict the future blueprint of COVID-19 policies. In particular, it is found that feature 'sturdy' with its components are the most common type of conceptualized features (n=53, 60.97%) identified in Biden's COVID-19 remarks. The major contribution of the current thesis mainly provides the integrated form of investigating speaker-based framing strategies on coronavirus with the focus on combining feature-based conceptual traits and political metaphors to reflect speaker's colloquial strategies. Furthermore, the study has underscored the importance of politician’s mindset of delivering speeches and may provide knowledge and direction for researchers and audiences to understand metaphorical expressions of pandemic-based context from politician's statements.
