Zum Einfluss fremder Morpheme auf die deutsche Sprache aus der Zeit der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie

Abstract

The paper hereunder is an attempt at an analysis of the foreign language morphemes on the example of the COVID-19 virus’ and its pandemic’s nomenclature in German language. The research area has been presented on the basis of the lexemes, which come into the German in the context of the reports about the spread of the global epidemic. The individual lexical units are sorted on account of the life areas of the language users and analysed in view of their structure and assimilation’s grade in the lexical and morphological system of the target language.
