Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has brought out some new words classified as four: Indonesian, English, loan words, and abbreviation or acronym. Those new vocabularies trigger similarities and differences in how Indonesian understand and use them. This study aims to explain the construction and implication of those new words from the perspective of Qur’anic asynonymity (al-Wujuh wa al-Naza’ir). This study used a qualitative approach involving a library mixed with field research and engaging a survey to 104 respondents (61 educators, 29 students and 14 common people). The analysis reveals two findings as a scientific contribution to the linguistic discipline. On the aspect of language meaning, most of the respondents know the meaning of new Covid-19 pandemic words while showing a variety of understanding. On the aspect of language use, meanwhile, most of the respondents are more familiar with English words such as “Corona, Covid, Covid-19” instead of both Indonesian and loan words like “Wabah, Pagebluk, Pandemi”. Additionally, they have different perceptions in the use of those new words for practical use.
