Palabras para una pandemia. Algunas notas sobre las creaciones neológicas utilizadas para comunicar la enfermedad por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
No full textEl 13 de marzo de 2020, ante la propagación en España del coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, dio una rueda de prensa en la que anunciaba que al día siguiente se celebraría un Consejo de Ministros extraordinario para decretar el Estado de Alarma en todo el país durante los siguientes 15 días. Así pues, con el objetivo de frenar el aumento de contagios, la población española se confinó en su casa el domingo 15 de marzo de 2020. A decir verdad, sucesivamente el Gobierno pidió seis prórrogas, de modo que el confinamiento se ha mantenido durante 98 días, desde el 15 de marzo hasta el 21 de junio. Por fin, después de casi cien días de bloqueo y miles de fallecidos por la enfermedad denominada COVID-19, el pasado 21 de junio cuando el reloj marcó las 00.00 horas, España salió del estado de alarma para dar paso a la nueva normalidad, una denominación que se ha erigido en un sintagma clave en el discurso político, una muletilla léxica utilizada para referirse a la nueva realidad provocada por la covid-19, porque, parafraseando a Monterroso, desafortunadamente el nuevo coronavirus todavía está ahí. En este extraño periodo, a medida que el SARS-CoV-2 ha ido avanzando, algo que todos los ciudadanos hemos podido comprobar es la importancia de los medios de comunicación para acceder a información especializada e incluso para compartir opiniones. Efectivamente, la existencia de medios sólidos e independientes, capaces de investigar y criticar las acciones de la administración pública han permitido a la población informarse de manera fidedigna sobre lo que estaba y está sucediendo. En este sentido, hay que reconocer que la prensa está desarrollando un rol clave en la correcta difusión de las noticias sobre la pandemia. Por otra parte, no cabe duda de que, como sostenía María Moliner, los periódicos son el instrumento ineludible para agarrar al vuelo todas las palabras de la vida, “porque allí viene el idioma vivo, el que se está usando, las palabras que tienen que inventarse al momento por necesidad” (citado en García Márquez, 1981) . Así pues, teniendo en cuenta el servicio inestimable que la prensa ha prestado y está prestando en el contexto de esta crisis, en las líneas que siguen, utilizando como corpus de detección el diario nacional El País y sus Suplementos (del 1 de febrero al 5 de agosto de 2020, tanto en soporte impreso como digital), primero, identificaremos las palabra más utilizadas para definir y caracterizar la actual crisis sanitaria. A continuación, partiendo del principio de que toda lengua viva crea palabras nuevas para designar realidades nuevas (Guerrero Ramos 1997: 11), ilustraremos cuáles son los principales neologismos surgidos a raíz de la actual pandemia
