Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic may be the largest crisis the world has had to face since World War II. It does not come
as a surprise that it is also having an impact on language as our primary communication tool. In this short paper, we present
three inter-connected resources that are designed to capture and illustrate these effects on a subset of the German language: An
RSS corpus of German-language newsfeeds (with freely available untruncated frequency lists), a continuously updated HTML page
tracking the diversity of the vocabulary in the RSS corpus and a Shiny web application that enables other researchers and the
broader public to explore the corpus in terms of basic frequencies.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IJCL) publishes original research covering methodological, applied and theoretical work in any area of corpus linguistics. Through its focus on empirical language research, IJCL provides a forum for the presentation of new findings and innovative approaches in any area of linguistics (e.g. lexicology, grammar, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, morphology, contrastive linguistics), applied linguistics (e.g. language teaching, forensic linguistics), and translation studies. Based on its interest in corpus methodology, IJCL also invites contributions on the interface between corpus and computational linguistics.
