Have you ever said a word over and over again only to
discover that repetition destabilizes your ability to
pronounce the word correctly?
PLELP is a software application that predicts how many
times you can speak aloud a particular word before you
are
unable to pronounce it correctly.
You
enter a word and the software spits back an
estimate
of how many repetitions you will get too before you are
unable to pronounce correctly.
I suppose the equation could be based on how many
syllables and letters are in each word.
Ultimately here is a software application that supplies a
legitimate reason to repeat the same word over and over
again in public.

[+] and the add-on that predicts how many times you can say the word before it starts sounding foreign or nonsensical to you. (what, that only happens to me ?) |
|
| |
Yes, it only happens to you. |

PLELP-PLELP-PLELP -PLELP-PLELP-PLELP...easy one - probably due to the fact that the start and ending mouth-shapes required are the same. I guess what would make something more tricky would be either very, or subtly different mouth-shapes at beginning and end of a given repeated word. |
|
| |
“Whelk” becomes quite hard work after about 5 or six repetitions, while “tot” is much simpler - despite both being single syllable words. |
|
| |
This would suggest that it’s more a matter of the physical manipulations required by the mouth than being a strictly a syllablactic metric (although the two are likely to correlate over a large enough sample) |

<deep> It is in the repetition of the word where it
loses its meaning. </deep> |

<joining in the deepness> Unless you're
meditating.....<ohmmmmm> |

[s] can you wipe your ass somewhere else please ? thankyou. |

I wonder, then, if you could train the neurons to somehow
be less susceptible to fatigue? |
|
| |
Maybe visualising the same object in different ways... |
|

On another point, does anyone remember NESSAGUIN? |

"that human vocabulary is very localised in the human brain in that it can be saturated or depleted." |
|
| |
zowie another possible thing to study at monozygotic twins to see if the genetics of minimal phrase depletion are genes of better than usual cognition or possibly singing ability |
|

I chose a word at random from the idea. I started to
stutter after repeating "ultimately" only 23 times.
This is a very interesting phenomenon and I think it
should be studied. |
