Abstract

The coronavirus pandemic has changed not only our way of life, but also our way of speaking. From medical achievements to economic concerns, a unique vocabulary has emerged reflecting the multifaceted impact of the crisis. This article analyzes the terms included in our daily vocabulary and reveals that language served as a mirror of anxieties, innovations, and collective experiences during the pandemic. We will see how these words not only describe the pandemic, but also shape our understanding of it.
