<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(34,34,34); font-family:Calibri,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont">The Covid-19 pandemic that has held the world in its grip since the spring of 2020 has introduced major shifts in the ways we communicate with others
– in informal everyday encounters as well as in formal institutional or workplace settings. Lockdowns have required people – sometimes whole families in far from ideal circumstances – to work from home for prolonged periods of time. From the moment face-to-face
communication with non-household members became impossible, the search for digital alternatives and technical innovations to facilitate remote communication took on a new urgency. Since new tools had to be introduced at very short notice, there was little
time to pause and reflect on the practical, social and cultural impact of these technical innovations on the lived experiences of people interacting in institutional environments.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt; color:rgb(34,34,34); font-family:Calibri,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont">This issue aims to investigate the findings of experts and users with respect to the different forms of remote or technologically-mediated communication
that were adopted on the spot. There are important questions that need to be addressed. Has the pandemic-induced tech revolution opened new vistas with respect to the way specific tasks in schools, offices, hospitals, and other workplace ecologies can be performed?
Or has it mainly been a source of concern, anxiety or frustration because it turned out to be very difficult to effectively compensate in online settings for the lack of shared space and body language feedback in engaging participants? And perhaps more importantly,
since both positive and negative effects may apply simultaneously: what types of tasks/people in what situations typically do – or do not – respond well to online communication formats?</span></p>

discourse data. These range from, but are not limited to, conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, pragmatics, (critical) discourse analysis, ethnography of communication and linguistic anthropology. We welcome original data-based research articles,
methodological articles, and perspective articles from researchers investigating the effects of the Covid-19 epidemic on language use and communication in a wide range of institutional settings in the field of e.g. education, medicine, politics, traditional/social
media, and business.</span></p>
