FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

“Infobésité” is a French neologism formed by blending “information” and “obésité” to describe the overload of information in contemporary digital societies. It metaphorically frames excessive data exposure as a kind of “dietary” problem for the mind, underlining the cognitive and emotional strain caused by continuous streams of messages, news and notifications.

Marie Escribe is a researcher at the intersection of Translation Studies, Applied & Computational Linguistics, and Human-Computer Interaction. She obtained her PhD from the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, with an industrial collaboration agreement with LanguageWire. Her research focuses on AI‑integrated translation workflows, including machine translation, automatic post‑editing, and user‑centred evaluation of translation environments. Building on this background, she has recently begun investigating lexical phenomena such as false friends and neoterms in English, French, and Spanish, using corpus‑based and LLM‑based methods. Within ENEOLI, she is particularly interested in how lexical innovation is detected, documented, and integrated into digital resources and professional translation practice, as well as in training translators to engage critically with neology.
