Abordarea tipologică a textelor din domeniul sănătății publice produse în perioada pandemiei Covid-19

Abstract

The article aims to carry out a typological analysis of specialized texts produced in the specific socio-communicational context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The synthesis of the theoretical postulates and the description of the traditional classifications (A. Bidu-Vrănceanu, J.-M Berthelot, A.-M., Loffler-Laurian, D. Rovența-Frumușani, Kocourek, Rostislav) allow the identification of relevant features in order to establish the typologies according to the sender, the recipient, and the target domain. During the public health crisis, official international and national websites are an important source of information. Thus, informational and descriptive texts such as weekly epidemiological bulletins, communication documents, summary reports, posters, video and audio information, epidemiological studies with key statistical data on confirmed cases, the incidence of detection and hospitalization, variants of the virus, and vaccination contribute to the internationalization of the terminology used in the pandemic discourse. These texts target a heterogeneous audience from the perspectives of knowledge, information, and application. The specialized text related to the pandemic context is the linguistic unit that transmits certain knowledge specific to a field, having an informative, descriptive, and argumentative value and a stance-taking impact. The communicative role of public health texts during the Covid-19 pandemic is well specified and defined, making them an interesting source of analysis from a terminological, pragmatic, and stylistic perspective.
