asemic

Adjective

asemic (not comparable)

1. Of or relating to asemia.
   • Beginning by considering automatic writing alone, we soon found that it presented analogies to various asemic troubles (or brain-disturbances influencing the recognition and reproduction of spoken or written words), and, moreover, that these asemic disturbances, in their various types, were spread...1889, Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, volume 5, page 534
2. Without semantic content; lacking meaning.
   • The asemic text, by definition, cannot be “decoded”, for the whole point of it is that there isn't any code, so the “reader” has to encode it.2013, Peter Barry, “Just Looking”, in Ian Davidson, Zoë Skoulding, editors, Placing Poetry, page 24
   • I have bypassed such significant developments as Wallace Stevens's aural experiments with playfully asemic language and his use of collage organization and almost Oulipian repetition-with-variation to explore epistemology in Harmonium (1923).2015, Alan Golding, “3: Experimental Modernisms”, in Walter Kalaidjian, editor, The Cambridge Companion to Modern American Poetry, page 37
