Bu çalışma, Covid-19 pandemi döneminde, dilimize yerleşen yabancı kökenli kelimeleri araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, pandemi döneminde 2020-2021 yılları arasında, 1 yılık süreyi esas alarak KKTC basınında yer alan yabancı kökenli pandemi terimlerinin Havadis Gazetesi arşivi üzerinden araştırılmasıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tüm dünyayı etkileyen pandemi sürecinde, Kıbrıslı Türkler de tüm dünyayla aynı terimleri kullanmıştır. Bu çalışma, nicel yöntem üzerine kurulmuştur. Veriler, temel iki soruyu yanıtlamak üzere analiz edilmiştir. İlk olarak; “2020-2021 yılları arasında, Havadis Gazetesi’nde en çok kullanılan pandemi kelimeleri nelerdir? İkinci olarak; “Her sözcük Havadis Gazetesi’nde ilk olarak ne zaman kullanılmıştır? soruları ile araştırma yapılmıştır. Çalışma, Havadis Gazetesi’nin arşivinden pandemi terimleri taranarak yapılmıştır. Covid-19 tüm dünyayı etkileyen küresel bir pandemiydi. Pandemi nedeniyle dünya genelinde evlere kapanma uygulamaları gerçekleşti ve bu evlere kapanma döneminde tek haber kaynağı dijital medyaydı. Böylece yabancı haberleri Kıbrıs Türk medyasına getiren kaynaklar Covid-19 ile ilgili yabancı kelimeleri de dilimize getirdiler. Covid-19’un medya kullanımını artırması, Covid-19 terimlerinin diğer dillerde olduğu gibi Türkçeye de girmesine neden oldu. Anahtar Kelimeler: Covid-19, Pandemi, Küresel Köy, Havadis Gazetesi, KKTC.
