This article aims to highlight the most significant German lexical structures related to the coronavirus pandemic, categorizing them according to lexicological, semantic, and phraseological criteria. Finally, it summarizes the survey’s findings and examines how the German language continuously expands its vocabulary, using the coronavirus pandemic as a case study.File in questo prodotto:
