[Lingtyp] coronavirus aka corona, rona, etc.: a blog post and a database

[Natalia Levshina]

Dear colleagues,

better late than never... If you remember, some time ago I collected
alternative names for coronavirus in different languages. There were many
creative and insightful responses. Now I'm very happy to share with you
some products of this discussion.

First of all, after a few technical and legal issues, our brand-new blog
MPI TalkLing is finally online. You can read my short article about corona,
rona & co  (also in Dutch and German):

https://www.mpi-talkling.mpi.nl/?p=36&lang=en

In addition, I've published a small database based on your responses on
GitHub:

https://github.com/levshina/Coronavirus

Please let me know if any information is no longer relevant or
incorrect, or if you want me to send you the data directly.

A million thanks again for your contributions! I wish everyone to stay
healthy and creative in these difficult times.

Best wishes,
Natalia
