Francis Gavin's history of macaronics is a scholarly wonder. However, I
concur with the view that his definition is too narrow. My dictionary
gives as a secondary meaning any medley of different languages -- as in
Pound and Joyce. As for a term for polyglot words or expressions, I have
seen and used "hybrid."
