Podcasts about conlanging

Für ihre Fantasy-Romane strengt Mira Valentin sich bei der Buchrecherche immer ganz besonders an, denn diese bildet die Grundlage für ihre Geschichten. Neben Kung Fu Training und einer eigenen Sprache für ihren Roman entwickeln, hat Mira noch so einiges mehr ausprobiert. Einer ihrer Selbstversuche endete dabei sogar mit einem Polizeieinsatz. Was genau da passiert ist, verrät Mira im Interview.

Carl Buck joins us to discuss his work as co-creator of Sangheili on Halo as well as his own personal conlanging work. Links:

In unserer neuesten Podcastfolge tauchen wir tief in das faszinierende Universum der Kunstsprachen ein. Kunstsprachen? Ganz genau! Diese von Menschen konstruierten Sprachen sind nicht nur eine Spielerei von Sprachliebhaber*innen oder Fantasy- und Science-Fiction-Fans, sondern tragen oft tiefgründige kulturelle und politische Visionen in sich und erfüllen teilweise ganz praktische Zwecke.In dieser Folge richten wir unser besonderes Augenmerk auf Esperanto – die wohl erfolgreichste Plansprache der Welt. Erfahre die spannende Geschichte hinter Esperanto: Von der Vision eines idealistischen Doktors über den knapp verpassten Aufstieg zur Weltsprache bis hin zur modernen und lebendigen Sprachgemeinschaft, die heute weltweit existiert.Ein Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

you're incapable of surviving in a capitalist system. * Tracing every fear back to a fear of dying alone, like how every page on Wikipedia leads to Philosophy. * Wanting to do a thing but having no effective mechanism to prefer any given thing over any other and doing nothing. * Hearing syllables and then "ass" and pretending you understand. * Learning a word that you didn't know and then explaining it to other people. * Breaking your task into small steps and doing the first step. * Listening to your emotion and being like "what's your deal" * Self-acceptance helping when beating yourself up doesn't. * Instead of writing, taking copious notes and then skipping right to editing the notes into a completed text. * Laying out an outline and then finishing the essay by removing the bullet points. * Having an idea in each hand and holding two more in your left foot and trying to squinch them together into a linear series of thoughts. * Everything being related to everything else.

oven and your house is burning down. * Being sad because the folks at Chipotle forgot your burrito but then your wife reminds you that you've eaten it already and you just forgot. * Everything that you could possibly need to build a thing. * Spinning around in an enormous magical hardware store with arms outstretched and an inventory robot fluttering around your skirt and landing on your finger. * Metal boxy objects of mysterious provenance. * The reaction speed of your transition lenses. * Welding masks transitioning to near-opaque in less than a millisecond because at any moment you might use a plasma beam that is brighter than the surface of the sun. * Installing permanent earplugs powered by your greasy earwax. * Not needing McMaster-Carr after Josh just tells you the answer. * An oil timer forcing a door to open or close slowly. * Having an idea for a cool Youtube video and assuming there's probably a cool Youtube guy who's already done it. * A toddler teaching you how to teach dragon language and the dragons being annoyed you didn't ask them. * Asking one of the indigineous people what the name of the hated rival tribe is named and them saying a slur and then being like "okay you're all that now." * Circumlocuting around the concept of the color green. * Summing up your engineering degree as "f=ma" and "you can't push a rope" and saving your listeners five years. * A fairly ingenious use of math that we've had sitting around forever. * Sliding rules getting us to the moon because we hadn't invented calculators yet. * The content being the same but the context changing. * The NES being the game dev platform that is most likely to survive the next thousand years. * Trolling through aerospace source code looking for funny comments. * Deleting your source code to free up space because nobody is ever going to need to port or revise Final Fantasy 7. * Planning a heist to retrieve the floppy disks stashed above the acoustic ceiling tiles of a dry cleaning service. * Games being reasonably well-preserved but other kinds of software being mostly lost because teenaged nerds don't care about it. * AI pets dying because the company that manufactured them went out of business. * Your GMO dog dying because the manufacturer's SSL certificate expired.
