convocatoconvocata

Convocatoconvocata is a neologistic term used in linguistic discussions and in some speculative fiction to describe a specific reduplicative-compounding pattern that signals a ceremonial or intensified summons. The term is not part of standard vocabulary in major natural languages and is mainly employed as a theoretical or illustrative device.

Etymology and construction: The word appears to be formed from a Latin-derived root related to convoco, meaning “to summon,” and a repeated or interleaved form that evokes the sense of calling together. In analyses, convoca- is often presented as the base element, with a second invocation appended to produce a single lexeme. The overall effect is a tautological or emphatic compound intended to convey a formal or ritual act of summons.

Theoretical usage: In linguistics, convocatoconvocata serves as an example for examining how reduplication or internal compounding can alter meaning, prosody, and discourse function. It is used to discuss how repeated semantic material within a word can intensify action, signal ceremonial status, or create a marker of invitation in constructed languages or hypothetical texts. In fiction, the term may describe a ceremonial command or summons issued by an order, council, or ritual assembly.
