Ukrainian and Russian phraseology arising during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Širjenje covida-19 po vsem svetu je v skoraj vse jezike vneslo določene spremembe in novosti ‒ tudi v ukrajinskem in ruskem jeziku so se pogosto rabljeni frazemi začeli prilagajati novim zunajjezikovnim razmeram. V prispevku so predstavljene prenovljene frazeološke enote, ki so tematsko povezane s koronavirusom. Sistemizirane so glede na: a) tip prenovitev, b) vpliv prenovitev na pomen frazemov in c) temo frazeološke enote. Novotvorjene frazeološke enote predstavljajo sodobno frazeološko sliko ukrajinskega in ruskega sveta, njihovo ustaljevanje in preučevanje pa sta pomembna za boljše razumevanje jezikovnih procesov z ozirom na zunajjezikovne razmere.

The spread of COVID-19 worldwide has caused certain processes in almost every language. In particular, in the Ukrainian and Russian language, there is a phenomenon of adapting well-known fixed phrases to extra-lingual conditions through their various transformations. It is the transformed fixed phrases thematically related to the topic of the coronavirus that have become the subject matter of this article. They have been systematised: a) considering the types of transformations applied to them; b) considering the influence of transformations on the semantics of fixed phrases; c) considering the subject. These fixed phrases constitute the latest occasional phraseological picture of the Ukrainian and Russian world. Their fixation and study are important for understanding speech processes in synchrony, in their relationship to the extra-lingual situation.
