Abstract

In 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic took a backseat to a fight against a palpable aggressor – Russia, following its invasion of Ukraine. The changes in the geopolitical situation also affected the usage of language, with military vocabulary entering the lexicons of languages worldwide. In an attempt to describe the horrors of the war, the violence perpetrated by the Russian troops, and the bewilderment of the Ukrainians, language has become more aggressive and widely peppered with political dysphemisms, which had long existed on the passive tier of the lexicon.
The empirical material for this article has been excerpted from various websites.
