Oksana Havryliv Logo ORCID

Abstract

The paper focuses on the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on language and the role of language in shaping new corona-related realities using the example of everyday life in Vienna during the pandemic and the Viennese German. Particular attention is paid to the use of dialectal lexis in advertising slogans that call for compliance with pandemic rules, vaccinations or boosters. Corona neologisms, stylistic figures, phraseologisms and
expressive lexis, which are increasingly used in times of crisis, are presented, and the functions of dialectal lexis and the role of humor are discussed.
