Podcasts about Constructed language

In this episode we interview Alesha Serada PhD about her article Who Speaks Tho Fan? Deconstructing the Constructed Language of Jade Empire.

Suzette Haden Elgin (1936-2015) was a writer and linguist who constructed a whole language called Láadan for her beloved Native Tongue series. In the series, women resist their oppressive patriarchal society through a language of their own creation that helps them better express their realities. For Further Reading: Suzette Haden Elgin (1936–2015) - Encyclopedia of Arkansas In her 1984 science fiction novel ‘Native Tongue,’ linguist Suzette Haden Elgin created a feminist language from scratch - The Conversationalist Láadan, the Constructed Language in Native Tongue, by Suzette Haden Elgin Suzette Haden Elgin and Randy Farran — Dragons, Cows & Kudzu's (1986) This month, we’re talking about Architects. These women held fast to their visions for better futures, found potential in negative space, and built their creations from the ground up. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Adrien Behn, Alyia Yates, Vanessa Handy, Melia Agudelo, and Joia Putnoi.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.28.550667v1?rss=1 Authors: Malik-Moraleda, S., Taliaferro, M., Shannon, S., Jhingan, N., Swords, S., Peterson, D. J., Frommer, P., Okrand, M., Sams, J., Cardwell, R., Freeman, C., Fedorenko, E. Abstract: What constitutes a language? Natural languages share some features with other domains: from math, to logic, to music, to gesture. However, the brain mechanisms that process linguistic input have been shown to be highly specialized, showing little or no response to diverse non-linguistic tasks. Here, we examine a class of stimuli that have not been previously investigated with neuroscientific methods - constructed languages, or conlangs, like Esperanto and Klingon - to ask whether they draw on the same neural mechanisms as natural languages, or whether they instead pattern with domains like math and logic. Using individual -subject fMRI analyses, we show that understanding conlangs recruits the same brain areas as natural language comprehension. This result holds for Esperanto (n=19 speakers) - a conlang that was created to resemble natural languages - and fictional conlangs (Klingon (n=10), Na'vi (n=9), High Valyrian (n=3), and Dothraki (n=3)), which were created to differ from natural languages, and suggests that a) conlangs and natural languages share critical features, including an ability to express a wide range of meanings related to the external and internal worlds, and b) the notable differences between (even fictional) conlangs and natural language are not consequential for the cognitive and neural mechanisms that they engage.

The first time you heard “Star Trek” characters speak Klingon, or the “Game of Thrones” characters speaking Dothraki and High Valyrian, you might have assumed that the actors were just speaking a few words of gibberish, created by some screenwriter to sound authentic. But these are complete languages, with vocabulary, syntax, grammar, and even made-up histories. There's only one person on the planet whose full-time job is creating them—and these days, he's swamped with requests. No doubt about it: Conlangs (constructed languages) are the new special effect. Me nem nesa! Hear from David Peterson (author, linguist & full-time language maker), Mark Okrand (author, linguist & creator of Klingon), and Angela Carpenter, (linguistics professor at Wellesley College).

There aren't many multilingual, multinational television shows that have been running for nearly seven decades. But what makes the Eurovision Song Contest so special to me is not the music, or the dancing, or the costumes that range from spangletastic to tear-off: no, it's the people butting heads about language. Historian Dean Vuletic, author of Postwar Europe and the Eurovision Song Contest, recounts the many changes in Eurovision's language rules, and its language hopes and dreams. This is the first of a two-part Eurovisionallusionist. In the next instalment: dictators. Protests. Boom Bang-A-Bang Ding-a-Dong Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley.

David J Peterson who has constructed numerous languages for both Film and TV joins Dave to tell him all about it

Constructed Languages and New Languages In the first of our two part series on the life cycle of languages, we address how language is born. We'll dive into the creation of constructed languages – languages made for film or TV (or even just for fun) – and natural languages, and how the process behind both reveals why new languages come into existence.

In which we create a theoretical constructed language (conlang) and dive into some of the fundamentals of Linguistics.

Science fiction frequently plays with language in different ways to explore the concepts of philosophy, culture, and cognition; and constructed languages (or conlangs) are a big part of that. In this episode, I highlight how conlangs have contributed to the genre over its history. TV recommendation: Defiance (Kastithanu, L'Irathi, Indojisnen, and Kinuk'aaz, by David J. Peterson) My blog posts about language in Creationism. jan Misali's Conlang Critic playlist.

Using pre-existing languages to make new ones.

Language encapsulates every part of a culture, from its history of ideas to the way its speakers perceive reality itself. And according to linguistics expert Arika Okrent, author of "In the Land of Invented Languages," even "made-up" languages like Klingon and Esperanto serve an important purpose. She joins the Curiosity Podcast to discuss the field of linguistics and why we say what we say. In addition to her first-level certification in Klingon, Arika Okrent's education includes an M.A. in Linguistics from Gallaudet, the world's only university for the deaf, and a joint PhD from the Department of Linguistics and the Department of Psychology's Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience Program at the University of Chicago.  More from Curiosity: ISS Astronauts Speak In A "Space Creole" Called Runglish Esperanto Is the World's Universal Language The Language You Speak Changes Your Perception Of Time—Literally It's Surprisingly Easy To Plant False Memories The Norman Conquest Is Why Steak Is "Beef" and Not "Cow" The Shocking Socioeconomic Word Gap Additional resources discussed: "In the Land of Invented Languages: Esperanto Rock Stars, Klingon Poets, Loglan Lovers, and the Mad Dreamers Who Tried to Build A Perfect Language" Arika Okrent's website Lingua Francas, Pidgins, and Creoles Development and Use of the Klingon Language "J.R.R.

The cat's out of the bag: Abby and Amy want to know if some languages have more idioms than others! Discussion topics include: What We Think Star Trek Is About, expressive methods of verbalization, and the favorite beverages of Western people. Our music is Marie Curie by The Crypts!, from the album Discover Science.

Your Hosts: Howard, Mary, Dan, with guest host Beth Meacham Dirk Elzinga, an associate professor of linguistics, joined us live at LTUE to talk about constructed languages, and how we, as writers, might go about constructing them for our work. Liner Notes: The big stack of notes from Dirk required its own page. Below are links to specific tools mentioned during the episode.

In this episode we were overjoyed to have Marc Okrand, the creator of the Klingon Language, come on the show. The interview was insightful as Marc talked about how he got started in linguistics, how he was tapped to create the Vulcan language before he created the Klingon language, and how 'Conlanging' or Constructed Languages has become a big thing. Marc even has a documentary coming out on the subject. And He told some stories about Star Trek from a behind-the-scenes view. Enjoy.

Doing Fieldwork on Constructed Languages; by Curtis U. Lehder; From Volume CLIX, Number 1 of Speculative Grammarian, May 2010. — As all linguists know, there are only about 6,000 languages left in the world today, and that number is shrinking rapidly. Constructed (or created or invented or planned) languages, on the other hand, number more than 128 trillion, according to conservative estimates, and more and more flower into existence each and every day. Though up to now, formal linguists (or, at least, respectable formal linguists) have largely ignored the works of language creators, it seems inevitable that at some point in time during the late 21st or early 22nd century, there will remain only one natural language (Lithuanian), while constructed languages will number, quite literally, in the decillions.
