A Note on Semantic Satiation
Charles E. Osgood (Lectures on Language Performance. Springer-Verlag. 1980. p. 25) describes the following phenomenon:
semantic satiation - where rapid seeing/saying repetition of a word, like canoe-canoe-canoe... produces a loss of meaningfulness, but repetition of a nonsense overt response having the same shape, nuka-nuka-nuka...does not.
The phenomenon was discovered by Titchner and his co-workers (see http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/499s99/yamauchi/semantic.htm#further)...
See 2;20 to 3;00 mark below for a famous example.....
