Language Creativity in the Era of the Coronavirus (Focusing on Korean Language Neologisms)
The Korean language is experiencing a real neological boom in the era of the coronavirus pandemic. The present study has examined 292 neologisms from South Korean Internet resources selected by the method of continuous sampling. The neologisms were divided into three main thematic groups (health, society, economy). A distinctive feature of the nominative processes at the present time is the multiplicity of nominative options and a humorous interpretation of reality.
