And just to add #meowlogisms in #German to my ever growing collection of feline-inspired words:

Advokatz (Advokat), Pause Tatze (Pausetaste), Katzapult (Katapult), Miatube (YouTube), Musikatze (Katzenmusikanten),, Duplikatze (Duplikat), schnurrstracks (schnurstracks), schnurrtastisch (fantastisch)

translations into English ): advo-cat, paws button, cat-apult, meow-tube, musician, dupli-cat, straight away, fantastic

Here's my very first meowlogism in #ukrainian: котомодель (kotomodel'), which is a feline take on фотомодель (fotomodel'), a model. Кот (kot) is 'cat' in English.

I came across it on #Instagram on the feed of a Ukrainian cat charity based in Kiev.

"gattitudine" - seen in an Italian-language posting on #Instagram; English "cattitude"

Meowza! These are good meowlogisms. Love them, and somehow these are the first contemporary pawliticians from the US that I have come across in my research. Weird somehow, but I have more from the UK and older ones, like Margaret Catcher, Napawleon, and the likes.

I was just thinking of "semeowntic purrimes" for #catspeak. We already have the "meowphemes" and "meowphology". So when we talk about cross-cultural purrieties (i.e. cat-inspired online languages on a worldwide scale), we should take into account the "semantic primes" (which are a pawsome concept shown by @Cliff_Goddard and Anna Wierzbicka)

I am continuing in my mission to bring more #cats into #linguistics #purrieties #DigitalHumanities #meowlogisms @linguistics

Dear #fediverse, please tag me when you come across #meowlogisms (i.e. cat-inspired wordplay) in any language, like the well-known purrfect or caturday.

I collect these words - for science (#linguistics). Thank you 🐈
