摘要
本文综述了辩证法和语音学家对疾病名称的研究。分析部分以COVID-19大流行为重点,讨论了病原体(SARS-CoV-2)和相关疾病(COVID-19)的名称。它集中介绍了这种病毒(例如Novel Coronavirus, Wuhan virus, 2019-nCoV)和这种疾病(例如China flu, Chinese flu)的各种英文名称。这表明地名反映了一种命名病原体和疾病的共同模式。通过分析唐纳德·j·特朗普(Donald J. Trump)使用这些名字的两段摘录,这篇文章展示了这些名字是如何出于政治目的,以分裂和贬损的方式被使用的。
This article offers a literature review of studies on disease names carried out by dialectologists and onomasticians. The analytical part focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses the names used for the pathogen (SARS-CoV-2) and the related disease (COVID-19). It homes in on a variety of names used in English for the virus (e.g. Novel Coronavirus, Wuhan virus, 2019-nCoV) and for the disease (e.g. China flu, Chinese flu). It shows that toponymic names reflect a common pattern of naming pathogens and diseases. By analysing two excerpts in which Donald J. Trump uses such names, the article shows how these can be used in divisive and derogatory ways, for political purposes.
