Another one: _lingvosensorika_

So new that neither GTranslate nor Russkaia uikipediia has it. Basing
it upon the description of the fundamental work given at ozon.ru -
self-described "Onlain Megamarket No.1": clearly a straight-up
transliteration, slightly modiлfied so as to reproduce the sound of
English "long _I_," with not even a pretense at being real Russian -
*my*  interpretation is that "linguosensorics" is "the study of the
basic and applied aspects of the languages - linguistics? - of the
five senses."

_Lingvo_ gets 616,000 Russian-only hits both as a prefix and as an
individual word:

"LINGVO: Onlain-slovar' _Lingvo.Pro_ - Elektronnyi Onlain perevodchik-slovar' "

_Lingvo.Pro_ is in Roman lettering. _LINGVO-Soft_, likewise in Latin
lettering, is a competing brand of online dictionary. The
_Lingvo-laboratoriia "Amal'gama"_ is a *linguistics* - my
interpretation - laboratory dedicated to "the translation and teaching
of foreign languages."
