Three perplexing senses. Related to (deprecated template usage) workflow, to words? Protologism? Equinox 11:44, 7 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

The senses given do look like protologisms. OTOH, the word is used uncommonly. It means - wait for it, wait for it - flow of words, AFAICT, which sense I have added. It is sometimes used in literary criticism. The earliest use I could find was 1860 and reminded me of the movement to mimic Old English morphology to construct "Anglo-Saxon" words, often to replace latinate ones, perhaps "loquaciousness". I don't think we will find nine citations to support the three differentiated senses provided, though there might barely be enough for one in a sociology/OD/systems-analysis sense. I have an OD book titled Stream Analysis that is reminiscent of the concept. DCDuring TALK 12:56, 7 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
