In the Land of Invented Languages Free FREE IN THE LAND OF INVENTED LANGUAGES PDF Arika Okrent | 342 pages | 11 May 2010 | Random House USA Inc | 9780812980899 | English | New York, United States 'In the Land of Invented Languages' Arika Okrent. ISBN Its original subtitle changed to Adventures in Linguistic Creativity, Madness, and Genius in the paperback editionwacky artwork, and endorsement reviews make it clear that ILIL is intended to provide a cheeky look at a quirky subject, and in that respect, at least, it fully delivers. Written in the first-person, ILIL offers a combination of anecdotes, research, and assessments, loosely arranged and presented as a single line of inquiry. Through twenty-six chapters, ILIL considers the phenomenon of deliberate language creation, especially the creation of languages intended to improve upon natural ones. The appendices to ILIL list some five hundred such languages and their designers, as well as a small number of sample passages and resources. For the most part, however, ILIL is dedicated to exploring only six of them, and the emphasis of its treatment is on the humorously tragic. The choice seems calculated, as the innermost chapters reveal she is actually more studied and proficient in Esperanto. ILIL ends with Okrent realizing she has a kind of sympathy for conlangers, but it sounds apologetic, and more than a little In the Land of Invented Languages by the expertise she witnesses at a In the Land of Invented Languages creation conference in Though the casual attitude of ILIL provides much insurance against serious criticism, there are still areas where the book may be considered flawed. The result is something more cannibalistic than informative, especially with its constant emphasis on the social awkwardness of the people involved. Just when ILIL is poised to establish a truly interesting In the Land of Invented Languages for its analyses, such as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in Chapter 18, it reverts to cheek—as if, so to speak, to save face. The author would have found a better denominator in Revived Cornish, whose movement is replete with the sort of schismatic infighting ILIL most enjoys. There is also the Enochian language, reportedly revealed by an angel to John Dee and Edward Kelley in and used In the Land of Invented Languages occult purposes since. ILIL does not mention them. The inventedness of natural languages is also overlooked consider standardization, neologism, and terminology, as well as the influences of poetic usage and translation. Though ILIL claims that artistic including fictional-world conlangs represent the final phase of the invented language movement, its treatment is a mere postscript to the rest of the book, and includes no theoretical content. No attention is given to the massive and longstanding scholarly tradition separating interest in the languages of Middle-earth from the Star Trek fandom that upholds Klingon, nor does ILIL touch upon any of the reasons why conlangs have become an indispensable feature of secondary worlds.

And every Star Trek fan knows about Klingon, which was nothing more than a television show's attempt to create a tough-sounding language befitting a warrior race with ridged foreheads. But few people have heard of Babm, Bli Just about everyone has heard of Esperanto, which was nothing less than one man's attempt to bring about world peace by means of linguistic solidarity. But few people have heard of Babm, Blissymbolics, and the nearly nine hundred other invented languages that represent the hard work, high hopes, and full-blown delusions of so many misguided souls over the centuries. In In The Land of Invented Languagesauthor Arika Okrent tells the fascinating and highly entertaining history of man's enduring quest to build a better language. Peopled with charming eccentrics and exasperating megalomaniacs, the land of invented languages is a place where you can recite the Lord's Prayer in John Wilkins's Philosophical Language, say your wedding vows in Loglan, and read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in Lojban.

Jun 09, David rated it really liked it Shelves: words-and-languageread-in Initially this book was fairly amusing, but somewhere around the half-way mark its charms began to fade, and by the end it was just plain exhausting. This was certainly not the fault of the author, who was an engaged and enthusiastic tour guide throughout. But ultimately the cumulative craziness of the various language inventors takes its toll. Okrent's tour of the "land of invented languages" covers a lot of ground, making five major stops, each of which considers a particular example In the Land of Invented Languages depth: Initially this book was fairly In the Land of Invented Languages, but somewhere around the half-way mark its charms began to fade, and by the end it was just plain exhausting. Okrent's tour of the "land of invented languages" covers a lot of ground, making five major stops, each of which considers a particular example in depth: John Wilkins's "philosophical language" Ludwik Zamenhof's Esperanto Charles Bliss's symbolic language, "Semantography" James Cooke Brown's language of logic, "Loglan" Marc Okrand's Klingon A major strength of the book is Okrent's ability to place each of these particular invented languages within its historical context. She also manages to convey the essential flavor of each language in a style which is not overburdened with linguistic technicalities, and with a refreshing sense of humor throughout. Her tolerance for the sheer weirdness that permeates the various personalities she encounters along the way ultimately exceeds mine. In the Land of Invented Languages had a certain grudging admiration for John Wilkins's noble attempt to categorize everything in the universe, as well as for the idealism displayed by proponents of Esperanto. But the monomania of Bliss and Brown, their protracted legal wranglings in defence of their weirdly idosyncratic creations made for depressing reading. And, though I share a certain geekiness where language is concerned, it doesn't really extend In the Land of Invented Languages enough to make me find the development of Klingon and the antics of those who "speak" it anything other than tedious. So, I think this book would have 5-star appeal only to someone far geekier than I. Nonetheless, it is an impressive and entertaining accomplishment. The author is to be congratulated. View 1 comment. I think I would really enjoy sitting down for a cup of coffee and a discussion with this author! She is a linguist and linguistics is a favourite subject of mine. Plus, she is In the Land of Invented Languages interested in words and their history and in the psychology of people who strive to build better languages. I was absolutely gobsm I think I would really enjoy sitting down for a cup of coffee and a discussion with this author! Mostly, the creators seems to be altruists—Esperanto was going to be the language that allowed us all to understand one another and prevent future wars. One of the best uses of language is politicking! Their rigid attempts to control the people using their languages seemed to negate any positive uses for their creations. I loved that in her author note at the end of the volume, she listed both PhDs and her Klingon 1st level pin as her accomplishments. What I found a bit freaky: I returned to work on Monday having read the book on the weekend and the very first volume that I picked up to catalogue was written in Esperanto! Wells and am busy with translations right now. That little piece of synchronicity was amusing. View all 4 comments. Nov 08, Emily rated it it was amazing Shelves: In the Land of Invented Languages by Arika Okrent is a book ostensibly about invented languages like Esperanto that is filled with love for the beauty and inventiveness of natural languages. Okrent gives us the tour we'd expect of funny invented languages like Esperanto and Klingon she even attends a Klingon convention. She has sport with many of the creations. I can't help throwing in another example here. But the book is much smarter than this. It gives a history of invented languages in a historical In the Land of Invented Languages, showing how the form and function of the languages fit in with the scientific or linguistic fads In the Land of Invented Languages the time.

Le livre d’Arika Okrent, ecrit´ par une linguiste mais accessible a` tous, se distingue par un ton leger,´ plein d’anecdotes amusantes mais aussi une reflexion´ sur ce processus de creation.´ L’auteur a de la sympathie pour les inventeurs mais aucune illusion quant a` leurs chances de succes` : inventer une langue est une chose, faire qu’elle soit adoptee´ en est une autre. D’autant plus que bien des inventeurs, tout a` leur passion, en oublient la simple utilisabilite...´ Et qu’ils ont souvent une approche trop rationnelle, croyant qu’une langue est meilleure si on la conc¸oit scientifiquement, sans se demander si les bizarreries des langues naturelles ne sont pas indissociables de leur utilite.´ Depuis la premiere` que l’histoire a enregistre,´ la ”Lingua Ignota” d’Hildegarde de Bingen, il y a eu tellement eu de langues construites qu’on ne peut pas les mentionner toutes. Dans son court livre, Okrent se focalise sur quelques langues : — La langue philosophique de John Wilkins, basee´ sur une stricte classification des concepts, dont Borges s’est moque´ dans un texte fameux <http://www.alamut.com/subj/artiface/language/ johnWilkins.html>, — L’esperanto,´ de loin la langue construite la plus parlee,´ — Le langage de symboles de Bliss, — Le Loglan de James Brown, qui a ensuite donne´ naissance au Lojban <https://www.bortzmeyer.
