This Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM), hosted at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona) in collaboration with Dr. Freixa, focused on developing a shared comparative framework for analyzing globalization-driven neology in typologically distant languages, with Spanish and Hebrew as case studies. The mission involved close collaboration to align theoretical assumptions, definitions of neologism, corpus design, and analytical criteria suitable for cross-linguistic comparison. Comparable
datasets of neologisms were compiled from institutional, journalistic, and digital sources in both languages, with particular attention to English-origin items in high-impact domains such as technology and digital communication. The analysis examined neological strategies including direct borrowing, calquing, hybrid formation, and internal creation, alongside patterns of morphological integration,
semantic adaptation, and distribution across registers.
Key outcomes include the groundwork for a structured comparative dataset, the identification of convergent and language-specific responses to global lexical pressure, and the establishment of methodological guidelines designed to support future multilingual neology research within the ENEOLI network.
