Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed our private and social lives.
The threat of the virus has a global impact on our health systems, our
lifestyles and mobility, our educational and professional activities, and has
led to new forms of social interaction and communication. Infectious disease
and public health specialists face the challenge of educating policy makers
and the public about viral diseases, viral variants, and the negative
physical, psychological, and social impact of pandemics. New terms emerge
almost daily, leaving a multitude of lasting traces in the terminology and
discourse of professional and public communication.

This Special Issue of Terminology aims to provide an insight into
state-of-the-art research on the terminology of pandemics. The issue aims to
initiate a debate on what lessons can be learned from the current COVID-19 and
past health crises for successful (multilingual) terminology planning,
management, and public communication in different (inter)national
institutions, monolingual and multilingual contexts and different disciplinary
fields. The focus will be on terminological dynamics, including the emergence
and growth of terms and the use of terms in different communicative contexts
and in everyday discourse, among other topics. A wide range of disciplines
will be considered, including the (bio)medical sciences (e.g., microbiology,
virology, epidemiology, psychiatry) and other social and applied sciences
(e.g., psychology, sociology, law, economics, IT, and technology).

We welcome theoretical and (cross-linguistic) descriptive contributions based
on authentic (multilingual) terminological data and/or resources informed by
various frameworks, including prescriptive, descriptive social and
communicative theories of terminology as well as (socio-)cognitive and
frame-based approaches and ontoterminology.

Deadline for submission of extended 2 page abstract (in English, max. 2000
words, including preliminary results and references): October 31st 2021.
Other deadlines to be found in the pdf mentioned above.

For any request contact both cornelia.wermuth at kuleuven and
