Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and its dramatic spread in the early months of 2020, the term social distancing has rapidly become a key term in public and private discourse. At the same time, social distance, physical distance and physical distancing have become current in the same context. This paper examines these terms in (samples of) four corpora of British English (BNC, ukWaC, NOW 2019 and NOW 2020), with the following aims: (i) to study the frequency and usage of these phrases in corpora of different kinds, representing texts created both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic; (ii) to determine whether the recent spread of the phrases in the Covid-19 context has entailed any shifts in the collocational profile of the constituent words. By looking at the most frequent collocations over time we establish to what extent the corpora reflect stability and change in patterning and to what extent the external factor of the pandemic outbreak has far reaching consequences for the lexical semantics of the language. The case of social distance/distancing has special relevance to accounts of semantic change through the sudden and radical shifts in the collocational profile of the items concerned.

With the spread of COVID-19 in China at the beginning of 2020, MOOCs, as a kind of currently popular online learning resource, have played a dominant role in higher education field. However, chiefly focusing on teaching organization and learning process in MOOCs, previous studies have paid inadequate attention to lecturers' discourse. In order to provide some useful views on this issue, this study investigates EFL lecturers' metadiscourse in Chinese university MOOCs to sketch its distinctive pattern across course types. Based on a self-built corpus, this research adopted interpersonal model as theoretical foundation and analyzed the frequency and functions of metadiscourse by AntConc 3.5.7 and IBM SPSS 23. Findings suggest that specific educational context in MOOCs leads to low frequency of metadiscourse and its use is mainly aimed at the enhancement of intelligibility, reliability, and interactivity. Besides, course types with different knowledge structures also exert certain influence on metadiscourse usage. Course types focusing on procedural knowledge (i.e. the knowledge related to practical process) tend to apply metadiscourse to enhance intelligibility and interactivity, while the ones stressing declarative knowledge (i.e. the knowledge related to explicit facts) attach more importance to reliability. Lastly, the paper concludes with implications for EFL lecturers' metadiscourse in Chinese university MOOCs.
