Answer 1

Answer:

In times of pandemic, everything goes faster: from our perception of how time passes (we are already in July!), to the production of scientific knowledge, through the way language is transformed. The word “coronavirus” has formally existed since the 60s, but we are building an entire new dictionary of words and expressions around it to try and capture what we are going through (and we are going through a lot).

Tony Thorne, a language consultant at King’s College London, is researching the creation and transformation of vocabulary that has come with the pandemic. According to him, there are three stages to that process:

• The first is the medicalization of our everyday language. We have incorporated words that did exist before, but those of us who are not doctors would not have come across if circumstances were different. We have learned the difference between a PCR test and an antibody test, the difference between respiratory assistance and ventilators, what contact tracing means and why R0 is important.
• At the second stage, we have created ways to express situations and feelings that we hadn’t encountered before. We go to covideo parties, replace Netflix and chill with Quarantine and chill, we call people who put others in risk of contagion covidiots and we add “corona” as a prefix to almost everything. Here is a guide to help you improve your Covid-19 fluency.
• And at the third one, governments and organizations have looked for strategic language to talk about the crisis. Argentinians, for example, don’t have lockdown or quarantine, but “aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio” (preventive and compulsory social isolation). Some of these expressions have profound semantic consequences, that may even transfer to the field of public policy. Does the fact of having adopted the terms “essential workers” or “essential industries” also mean that we are rethinking the way we value these jobs and industries? Will that translate into some kind of change?
