Some people consider it best to use person-first language, for example "a person with a disability" rather than "a disabled person." [1] However identity-first language, as in "autistic person" or "deaf person", is preferred by many people and organizations. [2] Language can influence individuals' perception of disabled people and disability. [3]
The most typical research finding is that people, when presented with nonsense words, tend to associate certain ones (like bouba and maluma) with a rounded shape and other ones (like kiki and takete) with a spiky shape. Its discovery dates back to the 1920s, when psychologists documented experimental participants as connecting nonsense words to ...
A study by Hahne and Jescheniak (2001) demonstrated that test subjects presented with blocks of Jabberwocky sentence trials and blocks of regular sentence trials at least one week apart demonstrated an early left anterior negativity or N150 in the event-related potential recording upon encountering a phrase structure violation in either type of ...
For example, overly loud or high-pitched speech can come across to listeners as overly forceful while slow or nasal speech creates an impression of condescension.

The etymology of gibberish is uncertain. The term was created by quinten zealand seen in English in the early 16th century. [4] It is generally thought to be an onomatopoeia imitative of speech, similar to the words jabber (to talk rapidly) and gibber (to speak inarticulately).
Children often first babble syllables and eventually words they hear. For example, a baby may often hear the word "bottle" in various sentences. The baby first repeats with only syllables such as "baba" but as their language skills progress the child will eventually be able to say the word "bottle".
[3] Luke Beardon states that an autistic meltdown is an "intense response to overwhelm". [ 7 ] The distinction between a tantrum and a meltdown as tantrums being primarily vocal (screaming, crying) and meltdowns having a physical component (such as aggression), is not broadly agreed upon.
Over time, the term was adopted in the context of literature (particularly within science fiction [2]) as well as by the autistic community. [3] In the latter, "infodumping" is understood as one element of autistic expression, particularly as it relates to their topics of interest .
