Product Information

How are languages invented? Why are they invented? Who uses them? What are the cultural effects of invented languages? This fascinating book looks at all manner of invented languages and explores the origins, purpose, and usage of these curious artefacts of culture. Written by experts in the field, chapters discuss languages from Esperanto to Klingon and uncover the motives behind their creation, and the outcomes of their existence.Introductionby Michael AdamsLinking all invented languages, Michael Adams explains how creating a language is intimidating work; no one would attempt to invent one unless driven by a serious purpose or aspiration. He explains how the origin and development of each invented language illustratesinventors' and users' dissatisfaction with the language(s) already available to them, and how each invented language expresses one or more of a wide range of purposes and aspirations: political, social, aesthetic, intellectual, and technological.Chapter 1: International Auxiliary Languages by Arden SmithFrom the mythical Language of Adam to Esperanto and Solrsol, this chapter looks at the history, linguistics, and significance of internationalor universal languages (including sign languages).Chapter 2: Invented Vocabularies: Newspeak and Nadsat by Howard JacksonLooking at the invented vocabularies of science fiction, for example 1984's 'Newspeak' and Clockwork Orange's 'Nadsat', this chapter discusses the feasibility ofsuch vocabularies, the plausibility of such lexical change, and the validity of the Sapir-Whorfian echoes heard in such literary experiments.Chapter 3: 'Oirish' Inventions: James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Paul Muldoon by Stephen WattThis chapter looks at literary inventions of another kind, nonsense and semi-nonsense languages, including those used in the works of James Joyce and Samuel Beckett.Chapter 4: Tolkien's Invented Languagesby Edmund WeinerFocussing on the work of the accomplished philologist J.R.R. Tolkien, the fifteen languages he created are considered in the context of invented languages of other kinds.Chapter 5: Klingon and other Science Fiction Languages by Marc Okrand, JudithHendriks-Hermans, and Sjaak KroonKlingon is the most fully developed of fictional languages (besides Tolkien's). Used by many, this chapter explores the speech community of 'Trekkies', alongside other science fiction vocabularies.Chapter 6: Logical Languages by Michael AdamsThis chapter introduces conlangs, 'constructed languages'. For example, Laden, created to express feminine experience better than 'patriarchal'languages.Chapter 7: Gaming Languages and Language Games by James PortnowLanguages and games are both fundamentally interactive, based on the adoption of arbitrary sign systems, and come with a set of formal rules which can be manipulated to express different outcomes. This being one of the drivers forthe popularity of invented languages within the gaming community, James Portnow looks at several gaming languages and language games, such as Gargish, D'ni, Simlish, and Logos.Chapter 8: Revitalized Languages as Invented Languages by Suzanne RomaineThe final chapter looks at language continuation, renewal, revival, and resurrection - in the cases of Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton - as well as language regulation.

Reviews
"Written by a variety of expert scholars and linguaphiles, From Elvish to Klingon is both informative and accessible, and offers something for uninitiated novices, fluent users of invented languages, and everyone in between." - Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America, 'To invent a language is to invent a story, as Tolkien knew. It is also a way of turning the deepest and maybe vaguest intuitions about the human heart into a kind of rhyme -- because a great invented language, like Tolkien's, urges the reader to go to the next line, just as rhyme does. The heart of this book is rightly devoted to the languages created for Middle-Earth; never before has this central creative source for The Lord of the Rings been so deeplyand lucidly examined. But there's more. The essay on Klingon transforms our understanding of what once seemed a bad joke. Game languages are illuminated, too; and Richard Garriott's long argument in favour of transmissible logic in invented tongues is chasteningly sharp. The appendices give a saddle ofcontext to everything else. This book shines a light into the worlds of making. It is indispensable.'John Clute, co-editor of The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, "From Elvish to Klingon shows clearly what makes invented languages fascinating - their logic, beauty, fun, and (often) high moral purpose." - The Boston Globe "Written by a variety of expert scholars and linguaphiles, From Elvish to Klingon is both informative and accessible, and offers something for uninitiated novices, fluent users of invented languages, and everyone in between." - Dictionaries: Journal of the Dictionary Society of North America, This book is a welcome addition to the growing literature that treats linguistic invention seriously., the book ought to be read by anyone with an interest in the future of Scots, Gaelic, and even English., "From Elvish to Klingonshows clearly what makes invented languages fascinating - their logic, beauty, fun, and (often) high moral purpose." -The Boston Globe
