Yellow of the Egg

Corona and German (w/ Barbara Soukup & Frauke Rüdebusch)

Luke Green Season 1 Episode 2

What are Krisenfrisen? How do you pronounce Quarantäne? What do baby elephants have to do with corona and German? 

The coronavirus pandemic has instigated a wave of new vocabulary in German, and has caused the meanings of many existing words and expressions to change. In this episode I talk to Barbara Soukup (University of Vienna) and Frauke Rüdebusch (Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache) about how COVID-19 has changed the German language.
