this actually sounds a _lot_ like my friend's grand-aunt who has
alzheimer; i have met her once, & although that's a terrible disease
altogether (perhaps all the more damning as she used to be a french
teacher), her speech is quite fascinating.  she just "sticks" on certain
syllables, repeats them irregularly (granularly?) & seamlessly moves on
to the next set of syllables.  every so often you'll recognize a word
(usually something which she heard from her interlocutor); then she'll
repeat & jumble it some more.

of course, if you want _real_ glitchy jumble, the indescribable hospital
food they have her eat is the place to look.
