Considering this context and the role of social media in the spread of polarisation, the present manuscript examines how metaphors and social actor representations act as divisive discursive tools in the tweets of Maduro and Guaidó. To do so, a corpus of tweets posted by these politicians during the first year of the conflict (2019-2020) is analysed, adopting a target-based approach (Stefanowitsch and Gries 2006) to identify the polarising metaphors and a socio-cognitive framework (Darics and Koller 2019; van Leeuwen 2008) to study the social actor representations. The results reveal that these discursive devices help both leaders to construct their social identities, legitimise themselves, delegitimise the other and reproduce their polarising ideological schemasThis study has been carried out under the research project “Polarization and Digital Discourses: Critical and Socio-Cognitive perspectives” (PODDS, PID2020-119102RB-I00), funded by the Spanish Ministry for Science and InnovationJohn BenjaminsDepartamento de Filología InglesaFacultad de Filosofía y Letras20242024-04-16research articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1AMhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_ab4af688f83e57aainfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10486/719346https://dx.doi.org/10.1075/jlac.00093.petreponame:Biblos-e Archivo.
