FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

My favourite neologism of the moment is ‘banger’ used in French.The term can be used in English to refer to a catchy song, but I’ve recently heard it used in France to refer to a good film and even a good cheese…

I’m an associate professor in English linguistics at the University of Picardy Jules Verne (France). Neology was my very first research interest and remains my main area of research. I am currently collecting and analysing neologisms in (anti-)feminist communities.
