Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to several abbreviations' emergence. Some abbreviations come from English and also from Indonesian. This phenomenon has a social and psychological impact on society. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the abbreviations used during the Covid-19 pandemic based on morphological studies.

The data collected in this study used the listening method with tapping techniques, followed by the observation without interview and the note-taking approach. Then, it conducted the data analysis with a data flow model analysis and a referential equivalent method. Moreover, these methods used determination elements as a primary approach and differential comparative as a secondary approach. Later, this study performed the data presenting with the informal methods by giving data analysis in sentences. The results showed several abbreviations: IMR, PPE, BLT, CCT, 3K, 3M, 3T, J3K, 3T+3M–3K, banpres, Covid-19, daring, isoman, and so on.
