Can bicultural be a cognante? bicultural? Biculturalism? biculturalismo?

I swear I have heard these used before.. but I can't find them in any dictionary. So maybe I'm wrong...

Thanks!

It's not in the RAE, see

I've found it here and there are more instances here.

Do you mean can it be a noun as well as an adjective? If you are asking if bicultural is the same in English and Spanish then, yes.

Biculturalism in sociology involves two originally distinct cultures in some form of co-existence. (from Wiki article)

el biculturalismo del gobernador

bicultural=bicultural

nope.. just if it is a word. This dictionary only had "de dos culturas" for bicultural. - lprzybil, Mar 7, 2011
Think they mean does it mean the same in both Spanish and English. - afowen, Mar 7, 2011

Cognate, rather than congnante :-) - afowen, Mar 7, 2011
