Clanging

Spanish translation: la asociación sonora

Psychology / General
English term or phrase: Clanging
In psychology and psychiatry, clanging refers to a mode of speech characterized by association of words based upon sound rather than concepts. For example, this may include compulsive rhyming or alliteration without apparent logical connection between words - Wikipedia. I'm having a hard time finding a Spanish word for this term. It is also known as "Clanging Association". Do any of you know of a translation for it? Thanks!

agree  JohnMcDove: Buenas referencias... ¿no estaría mejor ecolalia- alia -alia -alia... ? ;-)

  -> Es que “ecolalia” se refiere a un fenómeno distinto (repetición de todo o parte del enunciado de un interlocutor). Gracias, John, y buena suerte. 😝

clanging
glosolalia


Explanation:
A veces referido como glossomania en inglés, alude específicamente a lo que en castellano denominamos, técnicamente, glosolalia;

Glosomanía vs glosolalia
Aunque ambas coinciden en el hecho de ser alteraciones en la producción del lenguaje vinculadas con trastornos psiquiátricos, a diferencia de la glosomanía, la glosolalia consisten la vocalización fluida de un lenguaje inteligible, compuesto por palabras que el paciente inventa y en secuencias rítmicas y repetitivas más propias del habla infantil; creando un discurso en el que prácticamente todo son neologismos.
https://psicologiaymente.net/clinica/glosomania

Clang associations are groupings of words, usually rhyming words, that are based on similar-sounding sounds, even though the words themselves don't have any logical reason to be grouped together. (...)
Clanging also has been referred to as glossomania in medical literature relating to speech alterations in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

neutral  Robert Forstag: Según tu primera referencia, me parece que “glosolalia” en español corresponde más a lo que los psiquiatras del mundo angloparlante llaman “word salad” que a “clanging”.
3 hrs
  -> Las entiendo distintas. En cast nos referimos a la ensalada de palabras como tal. Pej la ensalada de palabras es una alteración del lenguaje donde se mezclan neologismos, parafasias y transformaciones disintáxicas. Aquí secs rítmicas, repetitivas...
agree  JohnMcDove: Sssoss essasstamente lo que me pasa-rapasa a mí..., en las noches de luna llena-plena... Cuando me convierto al Dadaísmo iconoclasta y a veces un poco plasta... ;-) (De niños, poetas y locos, todos tenemos un poco)

  -> K peligro la luna llena ;) Grax, John!
neutral  MollyRose: agree with Robert Forstag. It appears to be glossomania, not glossolalia, even from your own reference.

  -> Thanks Molly. I perfectly understand your reasoning. And yet, in spite of the explicit reference to glossomania, the general description of clanging is equivalent to that of Spanish glosolalia, reason why I included a link with a ESP definition of both
