Synopsis "How to Create a Language. The Conlang Guide"

A complete, example-rich guide for students on developing their own full, working constructed language. Containing over 70 end-of-chapter exercises for testing understanding and building a conlang, as well as advanced material sections, it is ideal for both undergraduates taking courses in the subject and anyone wanting to get into conlanging.

Designed specifically for class use, this text guides students through developing their own full, working constructed language. It introduces basic concepts and the decisions students need to make about their conlang''s speakers and world, before walking them through the process of conlanging in incremental stages-from selecting a language''s sounds to choices about its grammar. It includes hundreds of examples from natural and constructed languages, as well as over seventy end-of-chapter exercises that allow students to apply concepts to an in-progress conlang and guide them in developing their own conlang. Ideal for undergraduates, the text is also suitable for more advanced students through the inclusion of clearly highlighted sections containing advanced material and optional conlang challenges. Instructor resources include an interactive slideshow for selecting stress patterns, additional exercises and a sample syllabus, and student resources include a ''select-a-feature'' conlang adventure and an exercise answer guide.
