In psychology and psychiatry, clanging or clang association refers to a mode of speech characterized by association of words based upon sound rather than concepts. For example, rhyming or alliteration may be taken as evidence of logical connection. This is associated with the irregular thinking apparent in psychotic mental illnesses (e.g. schizophrenia).
