Pandemic Reflection of Present English Language Innovations as a Representation of the Transformed Reality

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted linguistic vocabulary across various languages. The pandemic has brought about new terminology and linguistic innovations to describe the unique circumstances of the crisis. The emergence of medical terminology related to COVID-19, such as "coronavirus" and "SARS-CoV-2," has become commonplace. The concept of social distancing has become standard and widely used in public health campaigns. With the rise of remote work, new terminology has emerged to describe this phenomenon. The concept of quarantine and vaccine terminology has also become standard in public health protocols. The pandemic has had a profound influence on linguistic vocabulary, and it is likely that new vocabulary will continue to emerge as the pandemic evolves. This paper aims to explore the impact of the pandemic on linguistic vocabulary, and to highlight the importance of language in reflecting and communicating the changing reality.
