Abstract

"The 2020 coronavirus pandemic has had its effect on language as well. New realities are being given new names, which often are based on the lexemes that denote the virus itself and the disease that it causes; some well-known words are getting new meanings, and the specialist lexis of individual fields, the military, medicine, and economy in particular, is becoming commonplace. The article introduces the latest phenomena (neologisms, personifications, puns, and so on) and the most prominent metaphors connected to COVID-19 in the Latvian language."
