With the development of the current topic of the COVID-19 pandemic in the German language, as well as in other languages, socio-culturally determined neoplasms have appeared, indicating the transformation of society and changes in the ways of understanding and understanding the world, in particular, the conceptualization of the space of society in the context of the corona crisis that has engulfed the entire globe. Using the concept of soziale Distanz as an example, the author examines the features of the verbal representation of the ways of perceiving spatial relations that have developed in the era of a large-scale pandemic that has changed the way of life of people, including the format and structure of social space. The analysis of the material under study showed that in a pandemic, there is a rethinking of social space, in particular social distance, considered in the framework of cognitive linguistics as a way to ensure safety and a guarantee of health.
