“COGNITIVE STUDIES OF LANGUAGE”

Abstract:
An analysis of the use of words related to the coronavirus pandemic shows that the ability of someone to be imperceptible is evaluated differently. If the “enemy” ( coronavirus ) is imperceptible, the situation is evaluated negatively. However, the “right to invisiblity” is actualized and recognized as a value for the individual in conditions of restricted freedom of movement and digital control ( lockdown ).
Keywords:
actual vocabulary ◆ semantics of the imperceptible ◆ military metaphor ◆ evaluative semes ◆ connotations ◆ media language
