Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the language used in financial newspapers, comparing English and Spanish publications from 2018-2019 (pre-COVID) and 2020-2021 (pandemic periods). Using corpora from *The Economist* and *Expansión*, the researchers analyzed sentiment and emotion using lexically polarized words and the CNN Business Fear and Greed Index. The analysis aimed to understand how the economic upheaval was conveyed and how sentiment and emotion changed over time.
