Abstract

No other event in recent decades has had as profound an impact on our lives as the spread of the coronavirus. In the field of lexicology, a multitude of new lexical structures have emerged to describe the pandemic and its effects across a wide range of areas. This article aims to highlight the most significant German lexical structures related to the coronavirus pandemic, categorizing them according to lexicological, semantic, and phraseological criteria. Finally, it summarizes the survey’s findings and examines how the German language continuously expands its vocabulary, using the coronavirus pandemic as a case study.
