When Roald Dahl invented words such as lickswishy, which describes the way English boys taste to giants in The BFG (1982), and whizzpoppers, the enjoyable
I’m still not set on one idea for my project, i’m nearly there, but at the moment I’m still hopping around a few different ideas, although they each have a fairly similar message of play through text/words/conversation. There was one sentence that Oded Ezer said in his lecture that gave me an idea for my own project. “You can invent meanings for a word.” As he said this, I started to think about how children tend to do this often, and how they even make up their own words when they’re not able to get their point across with proper language. It also made me think about childrens literature, and how writer Roald Dahl (and other writers such as Lewis Carroll) uses a lot of new, invented words in his books such as “whizzpopper” and “lickswishy” that also have their own meanings. I learnt a new word from researching this topic, ‘neologism’ which means ‘a newly coined word or expression.’ I found this article about invented words in children’s literature which explains neologisms and the ‘sense in nonsense.’ I really love the whole concept of this. I posted previously a child’s quote, which said “If you were a bread man made out of bread and you got butter on yourself, it would be OK.” To me, this is a great example of sense in nonsense because obviously the idea is fictional and a bit silly, but the idea behind it makes a lot of sense. From this research, I want to look more into neologisms, and the term ‘sense in nonsense.’
I want to understand. #odedezer #modernart
