Abstract
A language is a coping tool that humans use for different functions in times of social crisis. This short article describes how Filipino phrases, names, and hashtags related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) developed. Following a qualitative method, it performs a content analysis of online posts archived on Twitter, a widely known microblogging social media site. The discussion of NCOV invented descriptors, COVID baby names, and KokoVID hashtag provided evidence as regards the humorous function, literary characteristic, and emotional tool of language in times of social crisis. It is suggested that further research should be conducted in other contexts to describe how language develops in times of social crisis.
