Confellon

During our Linguistics class in July this summer, we came up with a new word pertaining to the conversational discourse in the story world. We had talked about the word perfellon, which has to do with the performance/performing of the story, and a class mate (I can't remember who it was now) popped up and said, and the conversational piece to that would be "confellon;" We also said it could be "converperfellon." Who knows? It was a Dr. Seuss day in Linguistics class and we had made up a new word pertaining to the art form of story and the conversational discourse that goes on between the storyteller and their audience; the sociolinguistic parallel to perfellon in the world of story.
