In this paper, we analyze the technical formation coronavirus: the creation in its area of specialty (infectiology), the morphological model of this lexical formation and its employers in the nowadays. Observing the morphological and semantic aspects involved in the word formation processes used to create new words from coronavirus, we intend to map the strategies that the speaker uses to express a point of view with lexical constructions, representing, in the molds of Booij (2010), the schemes and subschemas used. In this endeavor, the database comes from the Internet, especially social networks: Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
