The Corona Glossary Project

You can hear them almost on a daily basis but do you know their meaning? Look them up in our German-English Corona Glossary at https://issuu.com/emrahmujic/docs/german-english_corona_glossary

The Corona Glossary Project was a part of a larger project initiated by the German Language and Literature Department. Students of the English Language and Literature Department joined in and contributed to the Glossary by adding English equivalents to German neologisms coined during the Coronavirus pandemic.

The Project was completed by ten fourth-year English Language and Literature students: Amina Šabić, Anđela Radoš, Berina Haskić, Emrah Mujić, Ismar Hrnjičević, Mirnesa Hajdić, Muhamed Durmić, Nerma Mehić, Salih Pivić, Šejla Švraka under the guidance of Associate Professor Edina Rizvić-Eminović. The main objective of the team was to translate the definitions of the German terms to the English language and to provide English equivalents for the German terms.

The Glossary contains 809 terms in total and the whole project of adding English equivalents lasted for seven weeks. The team relied on The Coronavirus Corpus (https://www.english-corpora.org/corona/) for the English equivalents to make sure that the terms translated are frequently used and present in the English language.
