Language Invention in Linguistics Pedagogy
«Students can unfold their creativity while at the same time learning about phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and other areas of linguistics.»
Geertje Graehn, Lingoblog.dk
This book is the first to explore the varied ways in which invented languages can be used to teach languages and linguistics in university courses. There has long been interest in invented languages, also known as constructed languages or conlangs, both in the political arena (as with Esperanto) and in the world of literature and science fiction and fantasy media - Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin, Dothraki in Game of Thrones, and Klingon in the Star
Trek franchise, among many others.

This book is the first to explore the varied ways in which invented languages can be used to teach languages and linguistics in university courses. There has long been interest in invented languages, also known as constructed languages or conlangs, both in the political arena (as with Esperanto) and in the world of literature and science fiction and fantasy media - Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin, Dothraki in Game of Thrones, and Klingon in the Star
Trek franchise, among many others. Linguists have recently served as language creators or consultants for film and television, with notable examples including Jessica Coon's work on the film Arrival, Christine Schreyer's Kryptonian for Man of Steel, and David Adger's contributions to the series Beowulf.
The chapters in this volume show how the use of invented languages as a teaching tool can reach a student population who might not otherwise be interested in studying linguistics, as well as helping those students to develop the fundamental core skills of linguistic analysis. Invented languages encourage problem-based and active learning; they shed light on the nature of linguistic diversity and implicational universals; and they provide insights into the complex interplay of linguistic
patterns and social, environmental, and historical processes. The volume brings together renowned scholars and junior researchers who have used language invention and constructed languages to achieve a range of pedagogical objectives. It will be of interest to graduate students and teachers of linguistics
and those in related areas such as anthropology and psychology.

Anmeldelser
«Students can unfold their creativity while at the same time learning about phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and other areas of linguistics.»
Geertje Graehn, Lingoblog.dk
«This book is ideal for students of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and language acquisition, in addition to teachers, and researchers wishing to learn about invented languages. Overall, this book is a valuable source that provides frameworks for understanding the use of language invention in linguistics pedagogy. Researchers can consult this volume for directions of current constructed language research and readers do not need to have any familiarity with conlangs before reading the book.»
Asmaa Shehata, University of Mississippi, LINGUIST List
«Linguists consider their object of study as part of the natural world. But language is also something we can create. The contributions in this book show how an emphasis on the artificial rather than the natural can help create enthusiasm about linguistics and insight into language, among school children and university students alike.»
Marc van Oostendorp, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and Radboud University Nijmegen
«This lively volume from well-respected conlangers, teachers, and linguists convincingly makes the case that invented languages can be used as a creative pedagogical tool to introduce students to linguistics. The chapters argue that conlanging in the classroom will allow us to reach a broader student population and better train budding linguists.»
