English

COVID-19 is a plague that has become a pandemic for the
world. Necessary, many researchers who conduct research to
understand about COVID-19, both medical and other scientific
disciplines such as language science. The purpose of this study
is to find out whether there is a contextualization of the words
DISTANCE and DISTANCING with SOCIAL kolokat. For
this reason, the mixed method is used to obtain coherent
results. The results of this study indicate that the T-score of
DISTANCING 16.1 and DISTANCE -14. This shows that the
word SOCIAL is more commonly used with the word
DISTANCING in corpora. The second finding is a recontextualization of the word DISTANCING in the negative
direction.
