"« Nous sommes en guerre sanitaire contre le COVID-19 » – A Corpus-based Approach of Official French, Italian, and Spanish Social Media Discourse in the Light of the Coronavirus Crisis" - Research data

This paper examines discursive strategies on social media (Twitter and Facebook) by the three heads of government/state of the romance-speaking countries – namely Emmanuel Macron (France), Giuseppe Conte (Italy), and Pedro Sánchez (Spain) – from a corpus-linguistic point of view. For this purpose, a corpus was created which contains all Twitter and Facebook messages posted by these heads of government/state from the beginning of February until the end of April 2020. Research data is published here.
