КОРОНАВІРУС І НІМЕЦЬКА МОВА

Abstract

The article deals with the German neologisms in the period from March 2020 to the present. Coronavirus although is not terrible, but its consequences are unpredictable. The world is not only divided into two parts: before and during the disease, but also put man in front of a difficult choice: to be or not to be a biological form. In other words, human behavior must be transformed, focused on real fruitful cooperation to increase the level of happiness on the planet Earth. Covid is obviously the trigger that will help balance the spiritual and the unspiritual, the material and the ideal, the moral and the immoral, the intellectual and the emotional, or, conversely, the physical destruction of the “spoiled product” of modern humanity. All this indicates the relevance of choosing the topic of the abstracted article. The semantic uncertainties of German nouns with coronavirus meaning, the fragmentary nature of scientific research necessitate further comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon. We also see the urgency of the work in the general orientation of modern linguistics to consider the peculiarities of the formation of the lexical meaning of the neologism. We interpret neologism as a result of the nominative process of new concepts of the world around us on the time axis. The semantic subtypes of the analyzed neologisms are singled out, their classification by thematic feature is offered, the strong and weak links of the general development of the linguistic community are clarified, the duality of the socio-psychological behavior of the ethnos is proved, and its emotional and evaluative attitude to the coronavirus pandemic is reconstructed.
