The current study aims at investigating the X-phemization (Euphemism and Dysphemism) of coronovirus and non-coronavirus linguistic elements in a sub-genre of discourse analysis, viz. discourse of disease in the age of Coronavirusim ,as indicated in the title .Since such a discourse constitutes the core of the news sagging between the politicians’ and healthcare providers’ speeches ,newspapers are chosen as a reliable source for the corpora, (17) news (10 on politics and 7 on healthcare) were extracted from the BBC News , WORLD News , SPIN News ,and CNN News Websites . The study adopted Van Dijk’s (2000) socio- cognitive model for analyzing the data under investigation. The findings show that (5) of the corpora were euphemistically and (5) dysphemistically directed by the politicians whereas (7) and (4) were master by the healthcare providers euphemestically and dysphemistically , respectively conveying a variety of messages to the public. The findings also show that the powerful people were successful in directing the behaviors and attitudes of the audience through utilizing Xphemization as linguistic strategy.
