THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON ITERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION STYLE
ABSTRACT
Communication is an integral part of life, without it, we would not survive.During the pandemic,
interpersonal communication was strongly affected because from an active life and face-to-face meetings
we returned to a new normality, digital-online communication. On the other hand, new words were born,
otherwise neologisms.between us, only time will tell.
A new era was born, the era of the work-from-home world. The use of new communication channels also
changes interpersonal relationships. Discussions and meetings took place in virtual form. Interpersonal
communication in our lives can bring unique benefits, while digital communication is not the same, but in
that period we had no other option.
What was noticed the most during the pandemic period was the lack of direct communication and physical
contact between people. This was as stressful as it was disturbing since the right of “living word” was
limited and replaced with technology where direct communication lost its essence and faded even the usual
expressions, replacing them with completely new words related to the situation and vocabulary until before
unknown and unfmilar.
