What Does Jabberwocky Mean

When I first read Jabberwocky, probably the most famous poem from Lewis Carroll, I was in fifth grade. I recalled thinking, I must be doing something right. I had created some words my own and found myself vindicated. In the sequel Through the Looking Glass as an Alice’s second Adventure, and what Alice encounter there. Carroll used his playful nature one more time when in the first chapter Alicia reads a poem called the Jabberwocky.

The poem tells the adventures of a hero who must overcome a thousand dangers through a mysterious forest, until he manages to kill a winged monster like
Well, neuroscientists who explore the language systems uses the "Jabberwocky phrases" during brain scans to show that meaning and grammar are processed separately in our brain. But of Carroll's most important experiments in that sense is the moment when Alicia is on Humpty Dumpty and her conversation explores the very nature of words. Previously scientists had assumed that it was impossible, that words are arbitrary and that sounds cannot have an innate meaning.

Whatever the explanation of the phenomenon, sometimes you can guess with great accuracy the meaning of a word from an unknown language and you can also get nicknames, as in the case of Humpty Dumpty, end up reflecting the appearance of who holds
