The global crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, initially just a health concern, has eventually affected all peoples and societies of the world, essentially everyone. This online symposium titled ‘Language in the Time of Pandemic’ looks closely at language use during this global health crisis and considers the situation from various viewpoints and perspectives in the discipline of linguistics. In particular, it deals with how language carried the weight, bore the challenges, and made more apparent various social problems existing even before the pandemic unfolded.
