nonfluentagrammatic

Nonfluentagrammatic is a neologism used to describe a mode of language in which fluency and standard grammar are deliberately suppressed or broken to produce a specific effect. The term blends nonfluency, a lack of smooth syntactic flow, with -grammatic, indicating grammatical structure, thus a text that is intentionally not governed by conventional grammar.

Features commonly associated with nonfluentagrammatic writing include fragmented sentences, abrupt topic shifts, telegraphic phrasing, unusual punctuation, and inconsistent tense or subject–verb agreement. It may appear in experimental poetry, postmodern prose, or dialogue intended to simulate speech disfluency or memory fragmentation. It is distinct from mere typos or errors, as the deviations are purposeful and often exploited to convey mood, pace, or cognitive state.

Usage and reception: the term is not widely standardized and appears mainly in critical discussions of experimental form rather than as a formal category in grammar. Examples are usually cited from literary texts or performances rather than conventional linguistic corpora. A brief illustration: “Rain. Street slick. He go, fast. Door shut. Wind howl.” These fragments evoke immediacy and disorientation rather than conventional narrative fluency.

As a concept, nonfluentagrammatic interacts with ideas of disfluency, fragmentation, and experimental syntax, and relates to but remains distinct from agrammaticality, code-switching, or stylistic minimalism.
