Definition

In a manner that involves or exhibits anacoluthic structure; with grammatical discontinuity or shifted construction.

Etymology

Kelly Says

When a character in a novel speaks anacoluthically—jumping from one grammatical track to another—it can reveal their emotional state or show natural speech patterns that formal grammar would suppress!
