metadata.value: COVID-19 pandemic and the virus spread of hoax information which accompanied this
  disease encouraged the World Health Organization to use the word infodemic which was
  actively employed by the foreign and Russian mass-media. The redoubled attention of the
  mass-media to the problem of infodemic led to the growth of its social importance, to the
  increase of the word infodemic frequency which made it order of the day. The semantics of
  the word infodemic was sophisticated, new meanings in the mass-media definitions appeared,
  the former demanding meta-language reflection, a new media-concept was formed. The aim
  of the article is to explore infodemic as the key media-concept of the present time. The main
  stages of the media-concept’s life cycle are revealed, the peculiarities of its functioning at each
  stage are described. The research bank was formed with the help of the corpus method. The
  following methods were employed in the process of the language material scrutiny: definition
  analysis, component and conceptual analysis, the method of metaphoric modelling, discourseanalysis
  and content-analysis. The infodemic rapidly turned into a concept due to the highprofile
  nature, the importance and the ingenuity of the pandemic itself and its reflection in the
  traditional and social mass-media. The media-concept infodemic went through several stages:
  onset, growth and maturity. It acquired three lavish and highly-structured layers: notional,
  figurative and evaluative. The information in each of these layers is distributed according
  to three conceptual segments: “information — spread — consequences”. In the process of
  the media-concept’s evolution its initial connection with the medical sphere was weakened.
  The infodemic was interpreted as a flow of copious and false information which appears and
  spreads in the mass-media and the Internet in the periods of crucial social periods. The mediaconcept
  “infodemic” functions as an indicator of a wide variety of social problems connected
  with the media-consuming.
