ludic (adj.)

A term sometimes used in LINGUISTICS to refer to LANGUAGE whose primary function is to be part of play, as in the nonsense, repetitive rhythms, and rhymes heard in children’s games all over the world. Ludicity also affects adults, who may play with language by adopting silly tones of voice or by twisting words into unorthodox shapes to create a humorous effect.
