Abstract

This study aimed to explore the emergence of certain terms in Indonesian Language terminology, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Various lingual formswere found in words, acronyms, and phrases. Several conventional terms were also revived through an etymological process. The data source derived from the utilization of Indonesian Language in various news coverages from electronic mass media and social media (Instagram and Facebook) related to the COVID-19. Meanwhile, the data collecting techniques featured listening and documentation. The analysis utilized the element-chunking technique as well as the expansion of morphological and syntactical forms to determine the whole meanings of certainterms. The findings pointed out the introduction of new terms, re-introduction of conventional terms, changes in referents, as well as certain terms in the English Language which are syntactically interfered with within the Indonesian Language. The results of the study were expected to provide meaningful inputs for the Indonesian Language communities related to the language dynamics based on the current era.
