Die Relevanz der Corona-Pandemie für Gesellschaften ist in Sprache und Kommunikation in unterschiedlicher Form dokumentiert worden. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge sollen ein differenziertes Bild der Realisierung des Corona-Diskurses vermitteln. Dementsprechend konzentrieren sich die Studien auf lexikalische Einheiten, mit denen der pandemischen Realität Rechnung getragen wird. Eine natürliche Manifestation der Diskurse sind Texte, denen auch hierin besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet wird. Beachtung finden ebenfalls Humor in Krisenzeiten und seine Erscheinungsformen wie Witze oder Corona-Memes. Daher gibt der Band einen fundierten Einblick in den Corona-Diskurs mit besonderem Fokus auf die Sprache Deutsch, wobei er auch Untersuchungen zu anderen Sprachen berücksichtigt.
