SPATIAL AND T EMPORAL VOCABULARY IN SERBIAN PUBLIC DISCOURSE DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates the new lexicon of the COVID pandemic period which has semantic components of spatiality and temporality, which is to say, it belongs to the semantic fields of space and time. The aim of this investigation is to connect the categories of space and time that are lexically manifested in the pandemic period, and demonstrate the lexical development of the categories of space and time, as well as the semantic relations between them. Analytical, descriptive, and synthetic methods were used for this purpose, while the theories of semantic localization and conceptual metaphors were applied when necessary. The thematic dictionaries – the Dictionary of Terms from the COVID Epidemic Period and the Dictionary of COVID: Thematic and Associative acted as sources of the corpus, while the electronic corpora formed for the purpose of creating the aforementioned dictionaries served as a control corpus. This paper contributes to the study of the so-called corona lexicon, which the author has been investigating from the onset of the pandemic, as well as of the impact of the pandemic on the Serbian language
