The role of ecolinguistics in traditional media and on the internet in terms of the coronavirus pandemic

Abstract

The article touches upon the most up-to-date problem of language and ecology interaction in terms of frequently spoken event which has been mentioned everywhere for the last two years - coronavirus pandemic. This disease influenced almost all spheres of the life over the world. The spread of coronavirus infection also had an impact on the information environment and ecological model of communication as a whole. At present we can see how terms, ordinary words and our speech as a whole get another meaning or they are understood in a different way. In this study we analyzed the dissemination of information about coronavirus infection in traditional media, in social media and on YouTube video hosting (on the material of the popular Russian science blogs). Also we tried to assess the role of popular science content, advertising campaign in traditional media and rules for posting information on the spread and prevention of coronavirus infection in social networks in stabilizing the mood of society during the pandemic period.
