mnogoci

Mnogoci is a term used in a small body of theoretical discussions in linguistics and anthropology. It is not part of mainstream taxonomies, but some scholars use it to denote a framework for analyzing how individuals participate in multiple overlapping social groups and identities.

The word appears to derive from Slavic roots meaning many. In this usage, mnogoci refers to a multiplex set of affiliations in which individuals simultaneously hold multiple roles, languages, or group memberships that influence behavior and communication.

Core characteristics include non-exclusivity of membership, fluid boundaries between groups, and dynamic reconfiguration of identities across contexts. The concept emphasizes interaction effects between identities rather than treating them as isolated categories.

Applications appear in studies of multilingual communities, online networks, diaspora contexts, and multicultural organizations, where researchers track how different affiliations interact to shape social action, communication strategies, and access to resources.

Mnogoci is related to ideas such as multiplex identity and polyidentity, but remains underspecified in the scholarly literature. There is no widely accepted definition or standard methodology, and the term is primarily encountered in speculative or early-stage theoretical writings.
