LE LEXIQUE À L’ÉPOQUE DE LA COVID-19
LEXIC IN THE ERA OF COVID-19

Summary/Abstract: Even though nowadays governments and specialists call on a precise lexicon, it remains vague for non-specialists.

This acronym has practically entered everyday language. In this article, we will seek to highlight the emergence of neologisms, old words and new lexicon during times of crisis.
