Fenómenos neológicos en español y en rumano durante la pandemia de COVID

Abstract

Our paper proposes a compared analysis of the main methods to solve neological and terminological necessities in Spanish and Romanian during the
COVID-19 pandemic, a period marked by accelerated language change, especially regarding the quick social acceptance of lexical innovations. We wish to outline, with this approach, that neological creation tools – ex nihilo creations, word formation by means of morphological, syntactic, phonological or semantic resources and loans – are generally the same, especially in the case of typologically related languages.
