Meaning of glosolalia




furoya

glosolalia
  9

1st_ The origin of this word is in the Greek version of the New Testament, formed by 947; 955; 969; 963; 963; 945; (glossa "tongue, language") 955; 945; 955; 949; 953; 957; (lalein "to speak") and translates as "to speak in tongues," the "gift of speaking different languages to evangelize other nations." It would be more accurate to say that it is a xenoglossia or xenolalia, but thanks to Pentecostal or charismatic practices 'glossolalia' is considered its synonym. In linguistics, it is the pronunciation of meaningless syllables in a speech for artistic or expressive purposes. When incoherent words are involuntary and outside of religious mysticism, psychiatry and psychology consider it pathological and can respond to various causes.
