nonsense speech

Expressions that retain the basic structure of a language in terms of sound and meaning but replace meaningful content words (e.g., nouns, verbs) with plausible pseudo-words. Nonsense speech is also referred to as “pseudo-utterances”."Reference: M. D. Pell, L. Monetta, S. Paulmann, and S. A.
