Noam Chomsky sentences/ Logorrhoea-- meaningless or meaningfull??

The articles this week were easily comprehendible, except for maybe the last few that were more of a jumble of letters put together to make words especially “Jabberwocky,” by Lewis Carroll. The wikipedia articles “Logorrhoea” and “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously,” made me come back to everyday life activities in which we use freely flowing words and nonsensical terms to express an idea, much to the dismay of the people trying to understand what exactly your talking about.

With the idea of Cromsky’s nonsensical sentences, the reactions by many functionalists that were expressed in the article really made me think. At first after reading both articles I was at a point where I thought I agreed with the argument against the sentences being meaningful because for me on the surface it was very hard to recognize the purpose that these sentences should demonstrate communication. That’s when I thought that maybe the use of these sentences really had the true intention to get our minds rolling and try to make you evaluate the words and expand your vocabulary. Logorrhea can also be wordy speech, this went on to maybe support what I thought because after reading a complex statement you must decipher the true necessary words and also take out unnecessary ones that only serve to complicate the statement. Therefore in the process you must also decide the meaning of the thoroughly detailed statement, which ultimately utilizes and enhances your comprehension and communication skills.

I hope this is kind of on the right track??

See you guys tomorrow :)
