word-worship
Word-worship, also known as logolatry, generally refers to the obsessive or excessive reverence or devotion to words. This could be in the form of a preoccupation with the literal interpretation or meanings of words, treating words as if they have inherent power or magic, or elevating words above their intended meaning or usage. It may also refer to the idolization or overreliance on words or language in academic, legal, or theological contexts.
