{{Short description|Symptom of mental disorders }} '''Clanging''' (or '''clang associations''') is a symptom of [[mental disorder]]s, primarily found in patients with [[schizophrenia]] and [[bipolar disorder]].<ref name="Radanovic Sousa Valiengo et al 2012">{{cite journal |last1=Radanovic |first1=Marcia |last2=Sousa |first2=Rafael T. de |last3=Valiengo |first3=L. |last4=Gattaz |first4=Wagner Farid |last5=Forlenza |first5=Orestes Vicente |title=Formal Thought Disorder and language impairment in schizophrenia |journal=Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria |date=18 December 2012 |volume=71 |issue=1 |pages=55β60 |doi=10.1590/S0004-282X2012005000015 |pmid=23249974 |doi-access=free }}</ref> This symptom is also referred to as '''association chaining''', and sometimes, '''glossomania.''' Steuber defines it as "repeating chains of words that are associated semantically or phonetically with no relevant context".{{sfn|Steuber|2011|p={{page needed|date=March 2023}}}} This may include compulsive rhyming or alliteration without apparent logical connection between words. Clanging refers specifically to behavior that is situationally inappropriate. While a poet rhyming is not evidence of mental illness, disorganized speech that impedes the patient's ability to communicate is a disorder in itself, often seen in schizophrenia.<ref name="Schizophrenia and the structure of">{{cite journal |last1=Covington |first1=Michael A. |last2=He |first2=Congzhou |last3=Brown |first3=Cati |last4=NaΓ§i |first4=Lorina |last5=McClain |first5=Jonathan T. |last6=Fjordbak |first6=Bess Sirmon |last7=Semple |first7=James |last8=Brown |first8=John |title=Schizophrenia and the structure of language: The linguist's view |journal=Schizophrenia Research |date=September 2005 |volume=77 |issue=1 |pages=85β98 |doi=10.1016/j.schres.2005.01.016 |pmid=16005388 |s2cid=7206375 }}</ref>
