FEATURED NEOLOGISM:

Glocal (fr. glocal, en. glocal)
(the intersection of local and global dynamics)
This neologism is formed from the words global and local. It refers to processes in which local cultures acquire global characteristics while simultaneously preserving their unique identity. Glocal is a particularly important concept for analyzing language and identity transformations in the context of migration.
