Step-by-step explanation:

Carl Sandburg , who was the biographer of Abraham Lincoln, utilized nonsense language to demonstrate his view against linguistic dogmatism. He likewise felt that kids were the first to adjust the rationale spoken to by language and they did this normally. Along these lines, he made an uncommon nation , The Rootabaga nation. In this nation, any peruser who had language troubles could feel recognized since language rules did not exist and language which was not legitimate was acknowledged.
