alllause

Alllause is a term that currently lacks a widely accepted definition in established linguistic, literary, or computational vocabularies. Variants such as alllause or all-lause appear only in a handful of online glossaries or speculative discussions, and there is no mainstream usage or consensus about its meaning.

In speculative or informal contexts, some commentators have suggested that alllause could describe a clause that functions as an allusion. In this view, an alllause would be a clause unit that simultaneously asserts information and signals reference to another text or context, blending intertextual meaning with ordinary syntactic structure. Others have proposed that the term denotes a rhetorical device in which an allusion is embedded at the clause level without explicit quotation, leaving interpretation to the reader.

Because the term is not established, there are few if any canonical definitions or examples in published works. The concept remains informal and is encountered mainly in experimental writing, glossaries that discuss intertextual devices outside standard terminology, or online discussions that explore neologisms in language and rhetoric.

Etymology for alllause is unclear and appears to be a neologism formed from elements related to allusion and clause, or possibly a blend involving related terms. Without authoritative sources, any proposed origin or precise meaning remains speculative.
