FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

Glossodiversity. This neologism was coined by French psycholinguist and language didactician Gilbert Dalgalian, who emphasizes the importance of maintaining linguistic and sociocultural diversity for a sustainable vision of the human species. It appeared in French as “glossodiversité”, probably around 2013. DALGALIAN, Gilbert, 2013. « La Glossodiversité, prolongement de la biodiversité chez Homo Sapiens ». Éducation et sociétés plurilingues. N° 35, p. 81‑85.https://doi.org/10.4000/esp.2786
