The article offers a comparative analysis of COVID-19 words in Russian and English. The body of the selected words is divided into three groups: the immediate nominations of the disease and disease-related terms, words denoting human reactions and behaviours, nominations of new work life. Each of the groups in both languages features identical items as well as culturally specific words different in terms of motivation and word formation. The article concludes that the differences of COVID-19 words in Russian and English are explained by the following factors: 1) linguistic reasons (typological differences in word-formation), 2) political and ideological factors, 3) differences in the disease spread scenarios in the compared countries.
