Abstract

The article examines the knowledge about a person that is represented by language units created during the coronavirus pandemic. These language units are formed using such methods as word-composition, affixation, substantiation, and blending and make up three lexical categories “coronavirus patients”, “law-abiding citizens who comply with antiepidemiological rules” and “violators of antiepidemiological rules”. The characteristics of the concepts represented by the language units of these three categories are described, it is shown that the concepts transmitted by the language units of the categories "law-abiding citizens who observe anti-epidemiological rules" and "violators of anti-epidemiological rules" can be considered as oppositional. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the components used in word-composition and affixes, with the help of which derived units are created.
