1. Echolalia
2. Neologism
3. Clang association

2
Rationale: Neologism refers to words or meanings that may be made up by the client and have special meaning to him. The client's usage of "Shoz" and "Shozoid" represent neologisms. Blocking refers to stopping a thought or sentence abruptly without finishing the thought. Clang association refers to the use of words which rhyme or sound alike but may not make sense. Echolalia refers to parroting back what was just said.
