Constructed Languages Constructed Languages Day 2 - What is a ConLang? ▪ We talked about “Far Cry Primal” ▪ Now let’s talk about you –What brings you to ConLangs? What is a ConLang? ▪ Short for “Constructed Language” ▪ I.e., not a “natural language” (NatLang) Artistic Languages ▪ Klingon, Sindarin, and Dothraki are all ArtLangs ▪ ArtLangs are “created for aesthetic, fictional, or otherwise artistic purposes” (Peterson, 2015: 21) Famous ConLangs ▪ First appearances of what modern scholars call ConLangs were for religious / magical purposes 1. Lingua Ignota, 12th c. CE 2. Balaibalan (Baleybelen), 14th c. CE 3. Enochian, 16th c. CE 4. Damin (???) ▪ Many consider these to be ArtLangs as well Lingua Ignota, 12th c. CE ▪ St. Hildegard von Bingen – Abbess, Christian mystic – Suffered from terrible migraines – Viewed as source of religious visions – Patron saint of ConLangers Lingua Ignota, 12th c. CE ▪ In early 1140s, v. Bingen received command from God to write down what she experienced – Divine revelation led to list of 1012 nouns, which primarily have to do with church ▪ Glossary from Ignota lingua per simplicem hominem Hildegardem prolata ▪ aigonz "God" ▪ zizia "beard" ▪ aieganz "angel" ▪ galschiriz "battle ▪ inimois "human being" axe" ▪ iur "man" ▪ ualueria "bat" ▪ vanix "woman" ▪ gabia "quail" ▪ peueriz "father" ▪ gluziaz ▪ maiz "mother" "spearmint" ▪ limzkil "infant" ▪ orschibuz "oak" ▪ subizo "servant" ▪ sapiduz "bee" Lingua Ignota : Example O orzchis Ecclesia, armis divinis praecincta, et hyacinto ornata, tu es caldemia stigmatum loifolum et urbs scienciarum. O, o tu es etiam crizanta in alto sono, et es chorzta gemma. Conjectured translation: O measureless Church, girded with divine arms and adorned with jacinth, you are the fragrance of the wounds of nations and the city of sciences. O, o, and you are anointed amid noble sound, and you are a sparkling gem. Ritual ConLangs : Balaibalan ▪ Created in Timurid or Safavid Iran, in 14 - 15th century CE – Creator ▪ mystic Fadel Allah (Fazlullah) from Asterabad, founder of Hurufism – Sufi doctrine, Azerbaijan ▪ or one of his followers ▪ or Muhyi-i Gulshani of Edirne, member of the Gulshani sufi order of Cairo – Means “Giving tongues to the tongue” in Balaibalan Ritual ConLangs : Balaibalan ▪ Only existing source of language is the Baleybelen-dictionary in the Bibliotheque nationale de France & the Princeton U library Ritual ConLangs : Balaibalan (14th-15th c. CE) ▪ Lexically, by and large an a priori language (vs. a posteriori) – ConLang whose features are not based on existing languages – Perhaps a secret language, designed as a holy or poetic language for religious purposes – Why? Was believed that each time God reveals himself to humans, was done so in a new language (Abraham [Hebrew], Jesus [Aramaic], Muhammad [Arabic], etc.) – Language viewed as a sign that new revelation would happen soon ▪ However, grammar looks to Persian, Turkish, & Arabic – E.g., agglutinative ▪ Written in Ottoman variant of Arabic abjad b f t g gh h p w v y m sh c k Balaibalan Phonology v ch z d j l n u r i s a e Balaibalan : Example -at ‘INF’ ▪ karat ‘to do’ -a ‘PROG’ ▪ karea ‘doing’ -e ‘DESID’ ▪ kare ‘want to do’ -i ‘PST’ ▪ kari ‘did’ -u ‘perfective’ ▪ karu ‘done’ ▪ eba kar ‘will do’ ▪ ebu kar ‘would do’ ▪ rea kar ‘have done’ ▪ reu kar ‘had done’ ▪ shuk kar ‘can do’, etc. Balaibalan : Example Bašāna y-Āna yafnāna yahabān. Yasnam ray-Ān čunā wazanas ragiwzāwa inaša fājā, afajaš famīma imafnā ra‘ālābī qājā, airfam aimafam ja maknad Sanaš zāt jāma inanšanā ayaxšanā, aja maqri almnābī čunāyā raikarfanā rāyā ya‘šanā. In the name of God, the Indulgent, the Merciful, Praise (be) to God, the Creator of the origin of all things (as) light, who (as) revelation originated from the mouth of those who praise his signs; ... and prayer and praise (be) to our Lord the Praised (Muhammad), origin of all derived and simple things, and (praise) to his family and his companions, who work for those well-meaning to them as mediator. Ritual Languages : Enochian (late 16th c. CE) ▪ Angelic language recorded by John Dee (right) & colleague Edward Kelley in England – Dee : occult philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, advisor to Queen Elizabeth I – Kelley: spirit medium Ritual Languages : Enochian (late 16th c. CE) ▪ Claimed language revealed to them by Enochian angels – Why Enochian? Acc. to Dee, Biblical patriarch Enoch last human to know language – Required to perform Enochian magic Enochian Alphabet (R to L) Enochian Example, beginning of First Call Ol sonf vorsg, goho Iad balt, lansh calz vonpho. I reign over you, sayeth the God of Justice, in Power exalted above the Firmaments of Wrath. Actual new language? Shows signs of glossolalia. (Laycock 2001) Enochian in the Media Ritual Language : Damin (??? - 1980s) ▪ Lardil Demiin ‘being silent’ ▪ Spoken only by initiated men on 3 islands in Gulf of Carpentaria, south of PNG – most notably by Lardil tribe on Mornington Island (Hale 1997) ▪ Lardil & Yangkaal people believe created by mythological feature in the Dreamtime – Scholars believe invented by elders ▪ Only non-African language to use clicks as part of regular phonemic inventory Damin, from Dixon 1980, The Languages of Australia “The striking feature of Damin is its phonology - besides the consonantal inventory of everyday Lardil (six stops, six nasals, a lateral, two rhotics and two semi-vowels), Damin also has four nasalized clicks - bilabial /m!/, dental /nh!/, apico-alveolar /n!/ and apico-domal /n.!/ - an ingressive lateral fricative /L/, a glottalised, or ejective, velar stop /k'/ and an ejective bilabial stop /p'/. No other language in Australia has sounds of this nature; Hale remarks that the nasalised clicks are like those found in Khosian languages of southern Africa but that he knows of no language with sounds like those which he symbolises by /L/ and /p'/ (the latter is formed not with glottalic pressure, but by creating pressure between the tongue and the bilabial closure). Damin has a system of only three vowels, a, i, and u, with contrastive length, whereas everyday Lardil distinguishes long and short varieties of four vowels, a, i, u and e.” Damin, from Dixon 1980, The Languages of Australia “The phonetician J. C. Catford has pointed out that Damin employs five phonetic initiation types - pulmonic egressive (which characterises ALL sounds in most other Australian languages), pulmonic ingressive (/L/), velaric ingressive (the clicks), velaric egressive (/p'/) and glottalic egressive (/k'/). No other language in the world has this variety of initiation types, leading Catford to 'perhaps hypothesize that [Damin's] sound system is a deliberately invented one.' (Interestingly, the Lardil attribute Damin to a legendary personality called Kalthad 'yellow trevally.')” Damin, from Dixon 1980 “Damin has a small vocabulary, perhaps no more than 250 words in all. It works mostly in terms of generics - m!i refers to any member of the class of vegetable foods, thuu is used for large sea-dwelling mammals such as dugongs and turtles, thii for elasmobranch fish (stingrays and sharks), Li for bony fish, n!un!u for liquids, and so on. Detailed specification is possible in Damin by appropriate modification of the generic noun: wiitjpur is the Damin term for various woods and wooden objects but a precise correspondent of Lardil mungkumu 'wooden axe' can be given by m!iwu titi-i-n wiitjpur, literally 'sugar-bag (= honey) chopping stick,' a reference to one of its major uses.” Damin, from Dixon 1980 “There is a Damin form for the negative pole of each major adjectival opposition, the positive term being derived by preposing kuri-, e.g. tjitjuu 'small,' kuritjituu 'large.' While Lardil has nineteen pronouns and several demonstratives, Damin has a two- term opposition, n!a 'ego' and n!u 'other' (no other language in the world is known to lack a contrast between first, second and third person singular pronouns). All bound grammatical forms are, however, identical to everyday Lardil. The fact that the suffixes used with Damin words are from Lardil (rather than being related to Lardil) can be seen from the occurrence of the normal four vowels of Lardil in these suffixes, as against the three-vowel system of Damin roots. Damin plainly involves the same semantic and grammatical system as Lardil, although lexical representation is at a more generic level; despite the phonological differences it is essentially a further variety of the Lardil language, rather than being any sort of separate language.” Damin : Example (Wikipedia) Ordinary ngithu dunji-kan ngawa waang-kur werneng-kiyath- Lardil n ur. gloss my wife's.younger.brother- dog go-fut food-go-fut gen[4] translation My brother-in-law's dog is going to go hunting. Damin n!aa n!2a-kan nh!2u tiitith-ur m!ii-ngkiyath-ur. Other types of ConLangs ▪ Auxlang (auxiliary language): created for international/intercultural communication – a created lingua franca ▪ Examples of Auxlangs: a.Solresol b.Volapük c.Esperanto (Ido) d.Latino sine Flexione, Basic English, Globish e.Lingwa de planeta Famous ConLangs ▪ AuxLangs’ purpose is to replace natural languages (NatLangs) as a means of communication across cultures. ▪ Why not already use an existing language?

    THE DOUBLE REED 103 Second Bassoon: Specialist, Support, Teamwork Dick Hanemaayer Amsterdam, Holland (!e following article first appeared in the Dutch magazine “De Fagot”. It is reprinted here with permission in an English translation by James Aylward. Ed.) t used to be that orchestras, when they appointed a new second bassoon, would not take the best player, but a lesser one on instruction from the !rst bassoonist: the prima donna. "e !rst bassoonist would then blame the second for everything that went wrong. It was also not uncommon that the !rst bassoonist, when Ihe made a mistake, to shake an accusatory !nger at his colleague in clear view of the conductor. Nowadays it is clear that the second bassoon is not someone who is not good enough to play !rst, but a specialist in his own right. Jos de Lange and Ronald Karten, respectively second and !rst bassoonist from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra explain.) BASS VOICE Jos de Lange: What makes the second bassoon more interesting over the other woodwinds is that the bassoon is the bass. In the orchestra there are usually four voices: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. All the high winds are either soprano or alto, almost never tenor. !e "rst bassoon is o#en the tenor or the alto, and the second is the bass. !e bassoons are the tenor and bass of the woodwinds. !e second bassoon is the only bass and performs an important and rewarding function. One of the tasks of the second bassoon is to control the pitch, in other words to decide how high a chord is to be played.

  • Introduction to Music Theory
    Introduction to Music Theory This pdf is a good starting point for those who are unfamiliar with some of the key ​ concepts of music theory. Reading musical notation Musical notation (also called a score) is a visual representation of the pitched notes ​ ​ heard in a piece of music represented by dots over a set of horizontal staves. In the top ​ ​ example the symbol to the left of the notes is called a treble clef and in the bottom ​ ​ example is called a bass clef. ​ ​ People often like to use a mnemonic to help remember the order of notes on each clef, ​ ​ here is an example. ​ Intervals An interval is the difference in pitch between two notes as defined by the distance ​ ​ ​ between the two notes. The easiest way to visualise this distance is by thinking of the notes on a piano keyboard. For example, on a C major scale, the interval from C to E is ​ ​ a 3rd and the interval from C to G is a 5th. Click here for some more interval examples. ​ ​ It is also common for an increase by one interval to be called a half­step, or ​ ​ ​ ​ semi­tone, and an increase by two intervals to be called a whole step, or tone. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Joe Rees­Jones, University of York, Department of Electronics 19/08/2016 Major and minor scales A scale is a set of notes from which melodies and harmonies are constructed. There are two main subgroups of scales: Major and minor. The type of scale is dependant on the ​ ​ ​ ​ intervals between the notes: Major scale ­ Tone, Tone, Semi­tone, Tone, Tone, Tone, Semi­tone ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Minor scale ­ Tone, Semi­tone, Tone, Tone, Semi­tone, Tone, Tone ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For example (by visualising a keyboard) the notes in C Major are: CDEFGAB, and C Minor are: CDE♭FGA♭B♭.

  • A Brief Introduction to Constructed Languages
    A Brief Introduction to Constructed Languages An essay by Laurier Rochon Piet Zwart Institute : June 2011 3750 words Abstract The aim of this essay will be to provide a general overview of what is considered a "constructed language" (also called conlang, formalized language or artificial language) and explore some similarities, differences and specific properties that set these languages apart from natural languages. This essay is not meant to be an exhaustive repertoire of all existing conlangs, nor should it be used as reference material to explain or dissect them. Rather, my intent is to explore and distill meaning from particular conlangs subjectively chosen for their proximity to my personal research practice based on empirical findings I could infer from their observation and brief use. I will not tackle the task of interpreting the various qualities and discrepancies of conlangs within this short study, as it would surely consist of an endeavour of its own. It should also be noted that the varying quality of documentation available for conlangs makes it difficult to find either peer-reviewed works or independent writings on these subjects. As a quick example, many artistic languages are conceived and solely used by the author himself/herself. This person is obviously the only one able to make sense of it. This short study will not focus on artlangs, but one would understand the challenge in analyzing such a creation: straying away from the beaten path affords an interesting quality to the work, but also renders difficult a precise analytical study of it. In many ways, I have realized that people involved in constructing languages are generally engaging in a fringe activity which typically does not gather much attention - understandably so, given the supremacy of natural languages in our world.
