Contagios lingüísticos: las palabras que vinieron con el virus

Abstract

Inmersos en plena emergencia sanitaria, nos vemos empleando palabras y tecnicismos que, hasta hace bien poco, eran términos extraños, cuyo significado no conocíamos (ni tampoco, probablemente, su existencia) antes de que la COVID-19 irrumpiera en nuestras vidas, pero que ahora forman parte de nuestra «nueva normalidad».

Immersed in the midst of a health emergency, we see ourselves using words and technicalities that, until very recently, were strange terms, the meaning of which we did not know (nor, probably, their existence) before COVID-19 broke into our lives, but that now they are part of our "new normal".
