The English language, like all of us, has had to adapt rapidly and repeatedly
this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic – but what are the challenges faced
when new medical terminology needs to be used within many varieties of
English, and also with non-English speakers?

Join Dr Danica Salazar, OED World English Editor, and Richard Karl Deang, PhD
candidate at the University of Virginia, for an interactive online
presentation that will combine insights from medical anthropology and
lexicography to address the following questions:

- New terms in current use in different parts of the world, and what social
realities these words reveal
- Lessons learnt from other global health crises, and how can we use these to
ensure more effective health communication?
- What considerations need to be made in crafting accurate and locally
appropriate translations of Covid-19 terminology from English?
- Q&A time – bring your questions to the panellists, or send them in advance
to OED.uk at oup.com 

All those who have registered for the webinar will be notified when the
recording becomes available.
