ABSTRACT
This paper, of descriptive and qualitative nature, briefly studies the evaluative language used by students in #studygram-type Instagram accounts. The research is based on the basic concepts of the theory of argumentation in language endowed with the axiological point of view. Likewise, the analysis will be carried out in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has marked the current discourse in several areas. This article serves, on the one hand, to present what type of evaluative lexicon students use in one of the most successful social networks and, on the other hand, to show that the problem of COVID-19 can be investigated not only from a medical or online teaching perspective, but also by taking into consideration the individual attitude of students.
