Grammelot
The Grammelot or Grummelot describes a type of game language that is used in a satirical context in theater plays. Grammelot is characterized by fictional, onomatopoeic or macaronic scraps of words. Grammelot is usually performed with exaggerated facial expressions and gestures or contrasted with pantomime .
The origin of the Grammelot is said to go back to the Italian Commedia dell'arte , where it was used in harlekinesque passages and was intended to emphasize the exalted character of the characters in these comedies that cannot be expressed in words.
More recently, Grammelot has been used by Charlie Chaplin (Adenoid Hynkel in The Great Dictator ), the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Dario Fo ( Mistero Buffo ) and Gianni Ferrario , among others . The Italian pop singer Tosca (d. I. Tiziana Donati) also included a song in Grammelot in her multilingual program in 2017. Grammelot's receptions can also be found in many comics .
