The linguistic landscape of the coronavirus crisis in foreign language didactics by using the example of German

Abstract

The coronavirus crisis has changed not only the practice of language teaching in higher education, but also the languages themselves; the crisis is strongly reflected in language.

Using examples from German the paper deals with several tasks and exercises concerning the language of the corona crises, i.e. word formation, word play, forms of politeness and the communication of values.

The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic Linguistic Landscapes on Lifestyle, Health Awareness and Behavior

“…Perhaps one of the most important observations to emerge from the data, however, was a bidirectional relationship between CLL and people"s perceptions and behaviors during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. As found in various studies (e.g., Kuße, 2021;Phyak & Sharma, 2022;Rozin, et al, 2022), CLLs reflect people"s thoughts, beliefs and ideologies, these signages have an explicit influence on people"s perceptions, practices, and attitudes as found in this study.

“…Sorotan kajian dalam makalah ini dikelaskan kepada dua bahagian, iaitu kajian linguistik yang melibatkan wabak COVID-19 dan kajian yang berkaitan dengan modaliti. Daripada sudut linguistik, kemunculan wabak COVID-19 dilihat telah membuka ruang kepada pembentukan istilah baharu dalam sesebuah bahasa, seperti bahasa Melayu (Junaini Kasdan et al, 2020), bahasa Arab (Haddad & Montero-Martínez, 2020), bahasa Jerman (Kuße, 2021) dan bahasa Inggeris (Al-Salman & Haider, 2021). Menurut Kuße (2021), wabak COVID-19 telah mewujudkan banyak istilah baharu pada skala yang besar.…”

Junaini Kasdan et al (2020) turut menambah dengan menyatakan bahawa pembentukan istilah baharu yang disebabkan oleh penularan wabak COVID-19 telah memperkaya perbendaharaan kata bahasa Melayu dan sekali gus menyebabkan bahasa Melayu terus berkembang selari dengan peredaran zaman.…”

XIII Starptautiskais baltistu kongress “Baltu valodas laikā un telpā” : referātu tēzes

“…Desk studies of the development of linguistic landscape research show that the influence of the pandemic on public signage has attracted the attention of only a few researchers so far (e.g., Berra/Burr, 2020;Hopkins, 2020;Marshall, 2021;Kuße, 2021). In this paper, I will examine Covid-19 pandemic-related linguistic landscape texts from Latvian cities (hereinafter LL texts), which are published on the internet (news portals; thematic groups of social networks, e.g., Facebook group "Skatlogu favorīti", Favorites of Window-case; and blogs), as well as articles, posts, and readers' responses to them (e.g., reactions, emoticons, written comments, memes, and moving gifs).…”
