The article describes and analyses the changes in Tunisian French vocabulary that were brought about by the Coronavirus pandemic. The common language borrows lexical units from academic language and foreign languages, particularly from English language. It can be observed that the usage frequency of commonly seldom used expressions is growing as well as the number of occasionalisms. However, there are far fewer units borrowed from academic and from English language in Tunisian French than in French used in France. The number of occasionalisms is also significantly smaller.
The paper deals with the meanings of the compounds with the component -braní. This component has not been lexicographically treated yet despite its productivity in contemporary Czech. We describe the word-formation bases which are combined with the component -braní and define the prototypical meaning of these compounds – ‚a public (gastronomic, cultural, etc.) event‘.
