ABSTRACT

This paper aims at studying the pragmatic functions of the discourse system constructed by the official version of Wechat, the Shanghai Fabu, when the city was challenged by the outbreak of COVID-19 since 2020. On the basis of analyzing the content and word frequency, the article tends to explore the pragmatic functions of the discourse, such as the emotional function, political function, and behavioural function, so as to provide relevant reference for the effective construction of discourse system and improvement of the new media’s role in response to public health emergencies.
