FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

My favourite neologism of the moment is ‘banger’ used in French. Initially, 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 waiting for the moment when it’s written “bangeur”!

I’m actually a post-doc researcher at the University of Lille. 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 and in the discourse of perinatal bereavement.
