  • Inventors and Devotees of Artificial Languages
    From SIAM News, Volume 43, Number 5, June 2010 Inventors and Devotees of Artificial Languages In the Land of Invented Languages: Esperanto Rock Stars, Klingon Poets, Loglan Lovers, and The Mad Dreamers Who Tried to Build a Perfect Language. By Arika Okrent, Spiegel and Grau, New York, 2009, 352 pages, $26.00. In the Land of Invented Languages is a remarkably entertaining historical survey of artificial languages and their inventors, from the Lingua Ignota of Hildegard von Bingen in the 12th century through Esperanto and, more recently, Klingon. The depth of the research is impressive. The author, Arika Okrent, attended conferences in Esperanto, Loglan, and Klingon, among others; hunted up obscure self-published tomes available only in a few rare book rooms; worked through scores of these languages in enough depth to translate BOOK REVIEW passages into them; and interviewed hundreds of people, both language inventors and enthusiasts, getting to know many By Ernest Davis of them well. One of the book’s two appendices lists 500 artificial languages; the other offers translations of the Lord’s Prayer into 17 languages and of the Story of Babel into another 11. The text contains samples from many more languages, carefully explained and analyzed. Nonetheless, the book wears its learning very lightly; it is delightfully personal, and as readable as a novel. It is in fact as much about the histories of the inventors and devotees of the languages as about the languages themselves; these histories are mostly strange and often sad. Invented languages can be categorized by the purposes of their inventors.

Constructed Languages and Their Role in Drama By Emelie Vandenberg Advised by: Prof. David Richman Prof. Deborah Kinghorn 12/14/2018 Dialect is the “distinctive vocabulary and grammar of someone’s use of language” that creates a sound so unique to that person that their character and language become one (Crystal and Crystal, 2014, pg. 16). In the recent production of Brian Friel’s masterpiece, Dancing at Lughnasa, at the University of New Hampshire, we see dialect play a significant role in the differentiation between characters, how it shapes them, bonds them, and how it separates them from each other (Friel, 2013). From the ideolects of the sisters to the changed dialect of their brother, Father Jack, and the Welshman hiding from himself, Gerry Evans, we see that character is influenced by dialect and dialect reflects character.

Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4q09w22g Author Rolens, Samuel Copeland Publication Date 2016-02-23 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California You don’t know what you’re saying A language story (in Klingon) By Sam Rolens It’s a familiar story, maybe the most well known in English literature. It’s about capitalism and happiness and it starts like this: “Marley was dead, to begin with. There could be no doubt. His death howl had been sung.” And if that doesn’t give it away, you’d know it by man on the shallow stage of this Chicago playhouse in a heartbeat. There he is, sitting sour in his counting house; his little desk piled with gold, his nephew effervescent and obnoxious; his hapless clerk idly sharpening a dagger in the corner. You guessed it, it’s Scrooge: miser, jerk, failed warrior, Klingon. I’ll admit, I’m having a hard time as the lights come up on A Klingon Christmas Carol. The problem is, these are my people. Star Trek: The Next Generation came out when I was three years old and it has never not mattered to me. But a life of loving Star Trek teaches you skepticism to navigate a world of fan films, pulp novels and bad tattoos. And in these bumpy heads and billowing wigs, all I see is me: the 11- year-old under a rubber Halloween mask that came in a kit with a wig and brown pigment this close to blackface.

  • Me Nem Nesa: Investigating the Reception of Constructed Languages in Different Age Groups
    Beyond Philology No. 15/1, 2018 ISSN 1732-1220, eISSN 2451-1498 Me nem nesa: Investigating the reception of constructed languages in different age groups MAJA GAJEK Received 25.11.2017, received in revised form 28.06.2018, accepted 29.06.2018. Abstract The concept of artificially created languages is not new, but, owing to pop culture, it has recently received more attention. Constructed languages, or conlangs, are present in books, movies and video games, aimed at recipients of all ages. Contrary to natural languages, which emerged without conscious planning, constructed languages are designed to serve a certain purpose. There are many motives triggering the creation of new languages, from linguistic experiments and language games to making commu- nication easier. However, the most common reason behind the emer- gence of artificial languages during the last twenty years appears to be the enrichment of the world they belong to. Interestingly, the re- sponse of the audience varies depending on age. The aim of this pa- per is to examine samples of constructed languages present in recent pop culture and the effects they have on both their respective target groups and the rest of the audience. Keywords constructed language, conlang, Minionese, Atlantean, Na’vi, Dothraki 32 Beyond Philology 15/1 Me nem nesa: Badanie recepcji języków sztucznych przez różne grupy wiekowe Abstrakt Zjawisko sztucznie tworzonych języków nie jest nowe, ale dzięki pop- kulturze cieszy się ostatnio większą uwagą.

W przeciwieństwie do języków naturalnych, które powstały bez świa- domego planowania, języki sztuczne zostały zaprojektowane przez autorów aby spełnić określony cel.

  • Planned Languages and Languages Created for Fantasy and Science-Fiction Literature Or Films: a Study on Some Points of Contact1
    interlingwistyk a / interlinguistics 139 Język. Komunikacja. Informacja Ilona Koutny, Ida Stria (red./ed.) 14/2019: 139–154 Sabine Fiedler Planned languages and languages created for fantasy and science-fiction literature or films: A study on some points of contact1 Abstrakt (Języki planowe a języki stworzone na potrzeby literatury lub filmów fan- tasy i science fiction: studium niektórych punktów zbieżności). Języki wymyślone (lub skonstruowane) można zasadniczo podzielić na dwie grupy. Pierwsza obejmuje systemy językowe, które zostały stworzone świadomie według określonych kryteriów w celu ułatwienia komunikacji między ludźmi o różnych językach rodzimych. Volapük (Schleyer 1880), Latino sine flexione (Peano 1903), Ido (1907) i Interlingua (Gode 1951) są przykładami tych tzw. planowych systemów językowych. Najbardziej znaczącym z nich jest esperanto (Zamenhof 1887). Rozwinął się on z projektu do pełnoprawnego języka z aktywną wspólnotą językową, która gwarantuje jego dalszy rozwój. Te systemy językowe są badane przez interlingwistykę (z esperantologią jako jej subdyscypliną). Druga grupa obejmuje systemy językowe, które zostały stworzone głównie po to, aby nadać żywy i pseudoautentyczny charakter dziełom literatury fantasy i science-fiction. Tworzenie języków z powodów artystycznych, kiedyś nazywane przez J.R.R. Tolkiena „Sekretnym złym nawykiem” (“A Secret Vice”), stało się tymczasem bardzo produktywną i popularną dziedziną. Języki elfickie Tolkiena, nadsat A. Burgessa (nastoletni slang w „Mechanicznej pomarańczy“), na‘vi P. Frommera, dothracki D.J. Petersona i klingoński M. Okranda to znane przykłady. Chociaż oba typy systemów językowych bardzo się od siebie różnią pod względem funkcji i właściwości, można znaleźć między nimi wiele punktów stycznych. W niniejszym artykule omówiono te punkty zbieżności, skupiając się na anglojęzycznych pisarzach Jonathanie Swifcie i George’u Orwellu oraz ich zainteresowaniu planowanymi językami.
