疫情自爆發以來，至今已兩年了，不知道大家有沒有發現這段期間出現了不少coinage（新造的詞語）和熱門詞？
It's been two years since the outbreak self-infested, and I wonder if you've noticed a lot of coinage and popular words during this period?
?
在這兩年間，許多詞彙學家（Lexicologists）也在致力研究疫情在語言學上帶來的影響和變化。英國伯明罕大學的社會語言學家（Sociolinguist）Robert Lawson亦在《The Conversation》的文章指出，我們在疫情爆發這段期間看到語言變化的速度是前所未有的快。他把此現象歸因於多種因素，包括病毒傳播的速度以及其在社交媒體中的主導地位等。牛津英語詞典（Oxford English Dictionary）的高級編輯Fiona McPherson亦說道，「Covid-19」一詞在短短的兩個月内在媒體出現的頻率已經急遽飆升。由此可見，在這科技發達的時代，創造和分享新詞變得比以前更容易了。
In these two years, many linguists have been working on the influence and transformation of the epidemic in linguistics. Social linguists at the University of Birmingham, Robert Lawson, also stated in The Conversation that the word "Covid-19" has become more frequent in the media in a short period of two months. He has attributed this to a variety of factors, including the speed of the spread of the virus and its dominant role in social media.
