Abstract
The manuscript presents a summary of the results of the linguistic semantics study of Covid-19 related quarantine. Research conducted on a sample of Russian speaking Ukrainians. Found content and structure of the respective discursive field. Described features of inter-discourse connections. Established that the actualization of some discourses is accompanied by the deactivation of others, what makes quarantine semantics biased. Also, it was suggested that some of the discourses are indirectly positively associated and form the semantic core of the quarantine concept.
Highlights
Efficient implementation of quarantine involves behavioral, organizational, informational, value and other factors synchronization of the actions by millions of people
To implement the mentioned synchronization, it is necessary to clarify semantic features of quarantine concept and how it perceived by specific individuals and groups of people
As we can see the inter-discourse relationships have been mostly negative (Exp (B) < 1), i.e. the actualization of one discourse is accompanied by a statistically significant decrease in the probability of another appearances in the text, which in practice means the factual exclusion of these discourses from the quarantine concept (Table 2)
Summary
Efficient implementation of quarantine involves behavioral, organizational, informational, value and other factors synchronization of the actions by millions of people. One of the formal quarantine definitions states it is’ a restriction on the movement of people and goods which is intended to prevent the spread of disease or pests’ (Quarantine, 2020). Human beings are barely guided by formal definitions, but rather their own ideas on the matter. To implement the mentioned synchronization, it is necessary to clarify semantic features of quarantine concept and how it perceived by specific individuals and groups of people
