Resumo: | The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2) created a frightening scenario. In this context, new expressions and terms are created. The objective of this research is to analyze the lexical creation related to the pandemic through the neologisms reported in the media. It is a documentary bibliographic research, carried out in two stages. First, consulting news from traditional and alternative media, reported between January and April 2020, related to the new coronavirus. After the survey, we confirmed the neological character of the units selected by the lexicographic criterion. For exclusion corpus, we adopted the following dictionaries: Michaelis (2015), Houaiss (2009), Aulete (2020), Aurélio (FERREIRA, 2010), VOLP (ABL, 2009). At the end, we listed 70 neologisms related to the new coronavirus. The main processes were the syntagmatic formation (31), the lexical loan (11) and analogy (10). |
