Problem I. Have you thought about the use and power of specific language surrounding coronavirus? Why or why not? Have these articles changed your perspective on how we talk about coronavirus?

Problem III. The latter part of the Lawson article states that "Ronald Carter, former Professor of modern English language at the University of Nottingham, makes the point that 'verbal play is often undertaken for humorous purposes, serving in part to bring people closer together', as well as challenging the 'normal' view of things. Carter goes on to argue that inventive language is not just ornamental, but practical." The article further states that "in the absence of the regular social contact, shared talk is an important part of helping people feel connected to one another." Do you agree or disagree with the above two excerpts? Elaborate and provide examples.
