Sažetak
Language has been changing since its origin. This change has been influenced by many factors – the appearance of new technology, new inventions, as well as the appearance of new diseases. Such changes in register will be dealt with in this paper. The aim is to see whether there are any changes primarily in collocations that had been used previously in medical English and those used when reporting on the new disease COVID-19. First, two corpora were formed – one based on popular articles and another on scientific ones. Then, TextSTAT was used to find the most frequent nouns in each of the corpora. Afterwards, twenty most frequent nouns were chosen, and their collocations were sought. Finally, the results were analyzed and discussed.
