clanging |
|
|
|
A type of thinking in which the sound of a word, rather than its meaning, gives us the direction to subsequent associations. Punning and rhyming may substitute for logic, and language may become increasingly a senseless compulsion to associate and decreasingly a vehicle for communication. For example, in response to the statement “That will probably remain a mystery,” a patient said, “History is one of my strong points.” Also see clang associaton.
