“…equivalenti italiani. Ciò può essere giustificato dal fatto che l'anglicismo sintetizza diverse informazioni per cui in italiano si dovrebbero usare più parole e di conseguenza si impone come termine ombrello per i provvedimenti di chiusura emergenziale (Cappuzzo 2020: 24, Paoli 2020: 119, Pietrini 2021. C. Marazzini (2020b) aggiunge che in questi casi l'uso della parola non italiana suona meno spaventoso dato che si attribuisce all'anglicismo un significato circoscritto alla pandemia da Covid-19.…”

Pandemija Covid-19 je nepričakovano vstopila v naša življenja, povzročila velike družbene spremembe in pustila sledi tudi v jeziku, in sicer z besedami, ki so tako silovito in nenadoma vstopile v naša življenja kot sam virus. V italijanskem jeziku je večina teh besed anglicizmov, ki so od 20. stoletja najštevilčnejše izposojenke. V tem prispevku smo se osredotočili na anglicizme, kot so Covid hospital, hub, lockdown, smart working, distanziamento sociale, delivery, rider, green pass in recovery fund, ki so bili po našem mnenju v medijih pogosto uporabljeni za opis obdobja pandemije na škodo njihovih italijanskih različic. Analiza se je osredotočila na pogostost anglicizmov in njihovih italijanskih ustreznic v elektronski različici časopisov La Repubblica in Corriere della Sera ter na razloge za njihovo široko razširjenost. Rezultati potrjujejo njihovo prevlado v novinarskem jeziku in kažejo na njihovo uveljavitev nad italijanskimi različicami. Razloge za ta pojav je potrebno iskati tako na jezikovnem kot zunajjezikovnem področju. Sprva je dotok verjetno spodbujala hitrost in naglica dela. Njihova uveljavitev pa je bila posledica različnih dejavnikov: v primeru hub, delivery in rider zaradi njihove kratkosti in zgoščenosti; v primeru Covid hospital zaradi bolj omejene semantike; v primeru lockdown in distanziamento sociale, ker gre za krovna izraza, ki se nanašata na sklop ukrepov za zmanjšanje okužbe in sta vezana izključno na pandemijo; v primeru smart working zaradi prestiža, ki ga ima angleški jezik v italijanski družbi; v primeru green pass in recovery fund, ker sta bila izraza uvedena v italijanski novinarski jezik neposredno prek tujih medijev.

“…A considerable amount of literature related to language use under the pandemic circumstances has been published over the past two years. Across languages attempts have been made to track coronavirusassociated language changes, specifically, emergence of neologisms and naming strategies (Cappuzzo, 2020;Lei et al, 2021), political and social aspects of pandemic language (Mocini, 2020;Ostanina, 2021;Belova & Georgieva, 2021). A number of studies focused on confrontation-related language used by pro-and antivaccination speakers (Coltman-Patel et al, 2022) and pandemic narratives (Sárdi, 2022).…”

The article discusses recent changes to the urban linguistic landscape that were instigated by the spread of the coronavirus infection and expedient public code introduced by city authorities to regulate life in the pandemic-stricken megalopolis. It focuses on relevant signs and images as new entities of the multimodal dialog between the city and its residents. While before 2019 city signs were elements of the city navigation system, the pandemic realities changed their status and role in urban linguistic landscape. The study is based on a dataset of visual records collected across Moscow’s public locations over the years 2020 through 2022. Empirical data are analyzed for their function, language form, and multimodal components. The results suggest that city signs conveying COVID-related messages to city residents perform four major functions: they warn about the virus and health risks, prescribe certain behavioral patterns, motivate to fight the pandemic, and inform about safety measures undertaken by city facilities and businesses. The functional specificity of city signs tends to determine their verbal and non-verbal representation. The study also explores the interplay of visual and verbal components in COVID-affected urban communication and offers insights into new discourse strategies adhered to by the megalopolis when interacting with different social groups in key pandemic moments.

“…Haris Dedić & Elma Dedović-Atilla: The analysis of youth-related anglicisms among Bosnian youth -knowledge of their original form and meaning and attitudes towards them Anglicisms have been investigated extensively since the end of World War II (Sokolova, 2020;Cappuzzo, 2020), when the English language, became the world's number one language, or a lingua franca, as a result of American and British political and economic power and influence (Meyerhoff, 2006). Since that time, anglicisms have been studied from different perspectives, such as: types of adaptations of anglicisms in the receiving languages, the ways that anglicisms replaced native words, exploration of various language domains in which anglicisms are being used, the ways that anglicisms are used and perceived among different user groups based on age, gender, educational levels etc.…”

The importance of the English language in a contemporary globalized world leads to borrowing of English words into many languages, including Bosnian. The current research investigates the knowledge of the original English written form and translation of the English-origin youth-related words (anglicisms) among young native speakers of Bosnian. The study included 345 Bosnian and Herzegovinian high school students, both males and females, in 9 cities. The findings revealed that the usage of Anglicisms among Bosnian youth is not so frequent and that young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina are more familiar with the original written forms than with their translation/synonyms in the Bosnian language. Moreover, knowledge of these two forms of anglicisms shows variation only relative to a grade in English, while gender and age were found to be irrelevant. Also, no difference was shown in the knowledge of anglicisms in different fields: sports, fashion, and science and technology. Further research is recommended to study these and other youth-related anglicisms on a larger population sample.
