Abstract

The manuscript presents a summary of the results of the linguistic semantics study of COVID-19 related quarantine. Research conducted on a sample of Russian speaking Ukrainians. Found content and structure of the respective discursive field. Described features of inter-discourse connections. Established that the actualization of some discourses is accompanied by the deactivation of others, what makes quarantine semantics biased. Also, it was suggested that some of the discourses are indirectly positively associated and form the semantic core of the quarantine concept.

Keywords: quarantine, COVID-19, coronavirus, discourse, linguistic semantics
