Meaning of archisilabismo




furoya

archisilabismo
  10

More than a linguistic resource, it is a vice of language by which archsyllables ("elongated words with more syllables unnecessarily") are used within sentences, usually to pretend an erudition or technical knowledge that most of the time ends in pomposity or sesquipedalism. For this, prefixes and suffixes are used that are usually redundant because they do not add anything to the concept of the words they modify. They also make use of the periphrasis and the style of culteranism. See pleonasm, polysylabism, ecstasy.
