- Abstract
Covid-19 is a fresh subject that affects all aspects of human lives all over the world. It turns the world upside-down. Thus, when making a pragma-discourse study, one should not avoid it. The study deals with an article that discusses omicron, the latest Coronavirus variant, from Fox News, the American Republican Channel. With the aid of Eemeren's Pragma-Dialectical Approach, the study analyzes the text to find out the argumentation structure and determine the kinds of speech acts used in each argumentation stage. The study shows how the arguer uses such speech acts to support his standpoint and then convince the reader with it. The article title is "Omicron Clobber Christmas ... and Joe Biden".
