The Oxford English Dictionary and the language of Covid-19
Since the beginning of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has dominated public discourse and introduced a wealth of words and expressions to the general vocabulary of English and other world languages. The lexical adaptation necessitated by this global health crisis has been unprecedented in speed and scope, and in response, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has continually revised its coverage, publishing special updates of Covid-19-related words in 2020 outside of its usual quarterly publication cycle. This article describes how OED lexicographers have analysed language corpora and other text databases to monitor the development of pandemic-related words and provide a linguistic and historical context to their usage.
