Rhétorique de la Covid-19: analyse de trois cas de paroles « infectées »
Rhetoric of the Covid-19: analysis of three cases of "infected" words

Summary/Abstract: The irruption of Covid-19 in the public space has contributed to perverting or infecting speech and its commerce between social actors. By perversion or infection of speech, we mean this polemical discourse, bordering on belligerence, which confronts men, all troubled by the emerging pandemic. Speeches made in times of Covid-19 crisis are nihilistic in that they convey contempt, hatred, mistrust, suspicion or conspiracy, fear, etc. between men and nations. Three of these discourses summarize the genre here. These are the formula "the Chinese virus" of Donald Trump, the exchange between the doctors Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Cocht and the conference of the pan-Africanist leader Kemi Seba, about the vaccination against the Covid. The objective of this contribution is to analyze these three cases of socio-political discourse to highlight the conflict of their respective dialogisms.
