Abstract. The research objective is as follows: the authors try to identify the participation of diminutive and augmentative suffixes in the formation of corona-related neologisms. Scientific originality of the study includes analyzing newly appeared diminutives and augmentatives included in the "Russian COVID-19 Dictionary" (2021). Collective monograph "Russian Language of the Pandemic Period" (2021) contains articles devoted to analyzing current linguistic phenomena, but the role of evaluative suffixes in the formation of corona-related neologisms was not previously investigated. As a result, it is proved that diminutive and augmentative suffixes represent emotions, transfer different shades of expressive meaning and play an important role in word creation process during the pandemic.
