This article aims, from a pragmatic and enunciative angle, to enumerate the slogans and concepts created in the management of the pandemic and then to identify their new semantic particularities, and to decipher their preventive implicit content in the communication of the fight against COVID-19.

Capitalization is one of the most essential conventions of writing in English. A proper use of capitalization not only signals the beginning of a sentence or highlights certain types of words in a sentence but also ensures the clarity of meaning and the effectiveness of writing. Unfortunately, many EFL learners fail to use it correctly in their writing that prevent them from developing their writing skills and eventually negatively affect their overall language learning process. The goal of the present study was to find out the most frequent capitalization errors made by the EFL learners at the undergraduate level. By using a survey sheet, the study conducted a survey among 230 undergraduate students at Bangladesh Agricultural University and found that the use of capital/small letters with certain words associated with the Internet like Net, Web, Internet, etc.; with the names of general academic subjects; with the family relationship words; with the exceptional proper nouns such as black & white (names of human race), sun & moon (names of planet); with the first word of an incomplete sentence after a colon; with the titles of people; etc. are some of the particular areas where the participants made most frequent errors. The study basically attempted to make the learners aware of their common capitalization errors, so that, they can minimize the errors in their writing, and can make their writing more accurate, meaningful, and comprehensible.

In the process of English-Chinese translation, in order to ensure the accuracy and correspondence of translation, translators tend to follow Nida's functional equivalence theory. This theory advocates formal equivalence and emphasizes dynamic equivalence. In practical translation application, functional equivalence theory is of guiding significance to English-Chinese translation. In terms of language, the same meaning is expressed differently in different cultures.“地”has different semantic meanings in English and Chinese. This article will discuss the different semantic meanings of the differences and similarities between Chinese and English by comparing the difference between “地” in Chinese and English idioms and poems. The differences in the characteristics of Chinese and English languages mainly come from the following factors: the influence of geographical environment and lifestyle, the restriction of religious belief, and the differences in thinking modes.
