| | An artificial or constructed language (known colloquially as a conlang among aficionados), is a language whose phonology, grammar and vocabulary are specifically devised by an individual or small group, rather than having naturally evolved as part of a culture as with natural languages. | | | Constructed languages are often divided into a priori languages, in which much of the grammar and vocabulary is created from scratch (using the author's imagination or automatic computational means), and a posteriori languages, where the grammar and vocabulary are derived from one or more natural languages. | | | Engineered languages (sometimes abbreviated to engelangs), are constructed languages devised to test or prove some hypothesis about how languages work or might work. |

| | Finally, she explores the idea that language was "constructed" (the building metaphor seems significant) by a social collective, working back from Diodorus and Vitruvius to Democritus via Epicurus, and taking up the thesis vs. phusis debate along the way. | | | Classical attestations of the idea are thin: Euripides' Suppliants 201-2 briefly ascribes human language to a god, and "Hermes" is etymologized as "contriver of speaking" in the Cratylus. | | | If Greek gods occasionally take an interest in language, it's no big deal: when Hephaestus inserts a voicebox in Pandora, he is more like a craftsman installing a stereo system than a creator god bestowing the divine faculty of speech (cf. |

| | Amongst the numerous constructed languages – fictional languages, international auxiliary languages, logical, philosophical and personal languages (see http://www.langmaker.com/db/mdl_index_languagetype.htm) Heinzmann’s “phonetic picture-writing” is an especially interesting creation. | | | The idea of an international language was considered by René Descartes, who developed various criteria, among these criteria were several that would play an important role in the development of later constructed languages, such as phonetic regularity and grammatical rationality. | | | AUi seems to be one of the most straightforward attempts to create a language in which the words directly refer to the essence of things. |

| | Láadan, the Constructed Language in Native Tongue, by Suzette Haden Elgin |
| | Everyone knows about the constructed languages in Tolkiens writing (Elvish, for example); what is perhaps less well known is that Tolkien said he wrote his novels to provide a showcase for the languages. | | | Nevertheless, there's a theory that women are distressed because existing human languages are inadequate to express their perceptions; if that theory has any validity, it would seem that women would welcome a language that better served that purpose. | | | The fourth hypothesis -- that if women were offered a women's language they would either welcome and nurture it or would replace it with a better one -- was proved false. |

| | Tonal maps of Lao and Isani Thai dialects have been constructed by Thai linguists that show the way tones are spoken typically in provinces among groups who are disconnected from the Central Thai homogenization of the mass media and education. | | | Cham, Khmer, Lao, Burmese and Malay groups (among others) were subsumed into the kingdom of the Thais in the Chao Phraya valley. | | | It wasn't until she actually studied Lao language forms for a MA in Linguistics did she begin to feel some form of pride and satisfaction in the Lao language. |

| | Other languages have acquired autonomy: Afrikaans and Macedonian are both dialects (of Dutch and Bulgarian—or perhaps Serbian—respectively) which have become languages: they are Ausbau languages which have been extended or constructed or developed out of former dialects. | | | This is often presented as a concentration on those dialects which he regarded as being the most "pure" or "uncorrupted" varieties of the language. | | | But there is also no doubt that the more linguistic distance you can put between your language and its neighbours on the dialect continuum the better. |

| | Chapter 14: Social Construction of Reality |
| | If our (post)moderns are correct, there is no single, unified, perceiving "I"; if the crucial structure is language, perhaps there is no world outside of the discourse among many "subject positions"-the people who say "I" and construct themselves and the world(s) they talk about. | | | With her favorite old mystics, I believe Le Guin believes in the ultimate reality indeed of only the Dao, the Brahman, but of the validity also of individual life among the "ten thousand things," illusory or not, the validity of living with others in the world of maya. | | | But each author, in the argument he makes, seems to do his best to block such a charitable interpretation of his words. |

| | Span number 34-5 'Diasporas' Vijay Mishra |
| | Though Urvashi's beauty is constructed in the conventional language of desire ('the blood dances in men's hearts' upon seeing her) she is nevertheless presented in an entirely non-voyeuristic manner as a celebration of the essential beauty of the female form. | | | And it is perhaps that same sense of aesthetic continuity that brings me back to Tagore even though my knowledge of Bengali is limited to what it, as a language, shares with the various Hindi dialects (Avadhi, Bhojpuri, Braj Bhasa) that I understand and, of course, Sanskrit, the finest language of them all. | | | This is largely because Tagore shares with these great devotional poets a mastery of the language that is so powerfully cadenced, so subtly nuanced that its emotional content, in translation, becomes almost bland and bereft of intensity. |
