LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF NEOLOGISMS DURING THE PANDEMIC PERIOD
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on society, including language use. During the pandemic period, new words and phrases emerged as people tried to describe the new reality they were facing. This thesis aims to conduct a linguistic analysis of neologisms created during the pandemic period. The study will analyze the structure, context, and implications of the neologisms used in news articles, social media posts, and other sources. The research will also examine the differences between the neologisms used in different languages or by different groups of people. Finally, the study will draw conclusions about the impact of the pandemic on language use and how it might affect language in the future.
