Annotation

This work investigates the entire spectrum of new words which are connected with the Covid-19 pandemic, ranging from attested neologisms to nonce words, and from new lexemes to new meanings. It offers a multifaceted, all-inclusive model of lexical innovation, which can explain the recent developments of English vocabulary and accommodate its Covid-19 terminology. Neology is especially relevant to the Covid-19 pandemic era, as novel words to refer to new concepts or to convey new meanings are necessary in these unprecedented times.
