| Dec 20, 2013 at 21:51 | comment | added | Sildoreth | "staccato" is not a good comparison. Staccato in music is achieved by shortening each note while keeping the same tempo, thus creating separation between the notes. When these period-after-every-word sentences are spoken, the word lengths remain the same (or are lengthened), and the spaces between the words are lengthened. This changes the tempo of the phrase. | |

| Dec 20, 2013 at 17:33 | comment | added | Cyberherbalist | "staccato speech" is the name of a symptom, principally a symptom of multiple sclerosis, where a person speaks prounouncing each syllable distinctly. I suppose you could use the term for this style of writing, too, though. I didn't downvote your answer, btw. | |
