LoCoWriMo

2009-10-01T05:10:32Z

Arthaey: added links for participants

'''LoCoWriMo''' or '''Local Conlang Writing Month''' is inspired by NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. It started with a post by Arthaey Angosii to the CONLANG mailing list (11 June 2009), proposing that several of us simultaneously write a sizable piece of original fiction in our conlang.

NaNoWriMo sets a goal of writing a novel-length story, 50,000 words or more, in any language (but usually, I suppose, one's native language), between November 1 and November 30. Few if any of us have sufficient fluency in our conlangs, or conlangs thoroughly developed enough, to make that a realistic goal. Arthaey suggested 5,000 words as a goal for writing in a conlang; after further discussion we decided each person participating would set a challenging but attainable goal for themselves based on how complete their conlang is and actual experience with how long it takes to write a certain number of words (or characters, lines, pages -- however you want to measure your progress and define your goal).

Since some of us want to participate in NaNoWriMo in November, we're probably going to do this in October.

As with NaNoWriMo, one should start a new story from scratch on the first of October. Writing a plot outline or character background notes, figuring out what words you're liable to need and creating vocabulary for the semantic domains involved in the story you'll be writing, figuring out pragmatics and stylistics issues you haven't addressed before (e.g., how do dialogue tags and reported speech work in your conlang?) -- you can and should do that kind of thing ahead of time; but the story you write for LoCoWriMo should be written entirely during October, not incorporating previously written scenes.

To figure out what would be a challenging but attainable goal for you re: writing fiction in your conlang, it makes sense to do a timing exercise ahead of time; write a different story, or just some stand-alone scenes (for this purpose you don't necessarily have to have a plot sufficient for a complete story), time yourself, and measure your output for a writing session. Given your words (or characters, lines, etc.) per hour for this practice run, estimate how much you could write in October if you give the project most or all of your free time for the month.

Alternatively, you could just start writing on October 1, time yourself and measure your progress for the first writing session, and then set your goal for the month from there.

== Why '''LoCoWriMo'''? ==

National Novel Writing Month started out as a U.S. project and has spread internationally since then, but kept the name because the abbreviation sounds cooler. This project looks to be international from the start. Someone suggested Global Conlang Writing Month, but LoCoWriMo sounds cooler than GloCoWriMo. And, appropriately enough, ''loco'' means "crazy" in Spanish. (See the CONLANG thread linked below for details.)

== Preparation ==

While excessive planning of your story is discouraged, excessive prep work of your language is encouraged. If you know you're going to write a fantasy story with dragons, elves, and sword-fights make sure you've got those words ready. Similarly, if you're writing about an office-worker, make sure you know how to talk about spreadsheets. The fewer words and constructs you have to come up, with the more time you'll have to actually write your story.

Many Wrimos have only the vaguest of ideas of what they will write about on November first, and those who do plan ahead are encouraged to not do much more than a simple outline and listing of characters. The goal is to have fun being creative, not to write the next masterpiece.

== Rules ==

In general we're following the same rules as NaNoWriMo. Whatever you write must be new (no continuing an existing story), and fictional. The goal you set for yourself should be difficult, but attainable. Lack of sleep, and excessive coffee drinking is common among "WriMos".

Like NaNoWriMo, the emphasis here is on quantity, not quality. While you should, obviously, try and make your story grammatically correct, editing to improve plot, continuity, or anything else is discouraged. Just keep writing. With NaNoWriMo the goal is to complete a novel within one month. While we may not be able to accomplish the same thing with our conlangs, we can do our best, and along the way many of our languages will improve greatly, which ties in to the lack of editing. By the end of the effort many of us will find our words and grammar have changed in non-trivial ways. If we were constantly going back to update the start of the story to match the the language at the end, we'd never get much written.

== Participation ==

* Join the [http://listserver-emu.dreamhost.com/listinfo.cgi/locowrimo-conlang.org mailing list].
* Add yourself to the list of [[LoCoWriMo/Participants|participants]].

== Followup ==

If you're overall satisfied with the story as a whole, but dissatisfied with particular defects, you may want to revise it to a greater or lesser extent (or entirely rewrite it), either for aspects where the grammar or lexicon has changed in the course of writing or to fix plot holes or tighten up the flow of the story or whatever, sometime after you've finished the first draft during October. You don't have to; participating in LoCoWriMo doesn't commit you to that.

Conlang learners/Voting

2009-09-02T05:53:40Z

Arthaey: bolded email address for ballots

# Let's all try to post as many reviews and comments on nominated conlangs as we can before the end of the voting; preferably before voting begins.
# We'll use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting instant-runoff voting]. A ballot should consist of a list of one or more of the conlangs from the [[Learners shortlist]], listed in order of your most to least preferred conlang to learn. You can list as many of the conlangs on the shortlist you want. If there are any you have no interest at all in learning, you should leave them off your ballot.
#:E.g., if you most want to learn Foolang and Quuxlang is the conlang you're least interested in while still having nonzero interest in learning, your ballot would look like this:
#:Foolang
#:Barlang
#:Quxlang
#:Quuxlang
# Voters should '''email their ballots offlist''' to the vote-counting volunteers (Philip Newton, Amanda Babcock Furrow and Matthew Turnbull) via the address '''conlang_learners_vote''@''conlang.org''', not sooner than September 1 (midnight GMT) and not later than September 8 (midnight GMT). The ballot email's subject line should include the text "conlang learners ballot".
# Only those who were subscribed to the conlang_learners mailing list as of 1 September 2009 are elible to vote. You must email your ballot from the same address you used to subscribe to conlang_learners.
# The vote-counters will independently count the ballots sometime between September 8 and September 15. They'll email each other privately with the detailed results of their count to check each other's work.
# Once the volunteers are satisfied they've counted the votes accurately, they'll announce the results to the conlang_learners mailing list (and perhaps in other places; see below).
# If we already have permission to use the chosen conlang, we'll dive in and start using it. If not, we'll try again to contact the conlang's creator, and if we don't get permission, we'll go to the runner-up from the voting and use it if we already have permission, ask permission if we don't, and iterate if necessary.
# The vote counters could announce to the list that they've finished counting the votes, and will announce the result live on a certain IRC channel at a certain date and time. In that event, they should privately contact the creator of the chosen conlang, get their permission if we don't already have it, and make sure the date and time for the IRC meet suits the conlang creator as well as all the vote counters, before making an announcement.
# The vote counters might, depending on the patterns they see in the voting, recommend a split into two groups studying different languages, or not. If they don't recommend a split but a significant minority of list members are unhappy with the conlang chosen by the vote, said minority should probably get together to organize another vote, by whatever method and criteria for eligibility they choose, a little later on.
# It would be nice to announce the vote count results on 17 September, the feast day of St. Hildegard of Bingen, assuming the vote counters are finished verifying and counting the ballots, and the availability of the chosen conlang, by then.
# The vote counters ought to post detailed results of the IRV vote-counting process, probably on FrathWiki. See for instance [http://www.noreascon.org/hugos/hugodetails.html these detailed voting break-downs for the Hugo Award,] which uses essentially the same kind of instsant-runoff voting we'll use.
# Besides on the conlang_learners list, it would be good to announce the results of the voting and the beginning of the real conlang-learning phase of the project on other conlanging fora: ZBB, CONLANG, AUXLANG, worldlangslist, LiveJournal Conlangs Community, etc...?

LoCoWriMo

2009-08-15T18:57:09Z

Arthaey: /* Why LoCoWriMo? */

'''LoCoWriMo''' or '''Local Conlang Writing Month''' is inspired by NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. It started with a post by Arthaey Angosii to the CONLANG mailing list (11 June 2009), proposing that several of us simultaneously write a sizable piece of original fiction in our conlang.

NaNoWriMo sets a goal of writing a novel-length story, 50,000 words or more, in any language (but usually, I suppose, one's native language), between November 1 and November 30. Few if any of us have sufficient fluency in our conlangs, or conlangs thoroughly developed enough, to make that a realistic goal. Arthaey suggested 5,000 words as a goal for writing in a conlang; after further discussion we decided each person participating would set a challenging but attainable goal for themselves based on how complete their conlang is and actual experience with how long it takes to write a certain number of words (or characters, lines, pages -- however you want to measure your progress and define your goal).

Since some of us want to participate in NaNoWriMo in November, we're probably going to do this in October.

As with NaNoWriMo, one should start a new story from scratch on the first of October. Writing a plot outline or character background notes, figuring out what words you're liable to need and creating vocabulary for the semantic domains involved in the story you'll be writing, figuring out pragmatics and stylistics issues you haven't addressed before (e.g., how do dialogue tags and reported speech work in your conlang?) -- you can and should do that kind of thing ahead of time; but the story you write for LoCoWriMo should be written entirely during October, not incorporating previously written scenes.

To figure out what would be a challenging but attainable goal for you re: writing fiction in your conlang, it makes sense to do a timing exercise ahead of time; write a different story, or just some stand-alone scenes (for this purpose you don't necessarily have to have a plot sufficient for a complete story), time yourself, and measure your output for a writing session. Given your words (or characters, lines, etc.) per hour for this practice run, estimate how much you could write in October if you give the project most or all of your free time for the month.

Alternatively, you could just start writing on October 1, time yourself and measure your progress for the first writing session, and then set your goal for the month from there.

== Why '''LoCoWriMo'''? ==

National Novel Writing Month started out as a U.S. project and has spread internationally since then, but kept the name because the abbreviation sounds cooler. This project looks to be international from the start. Someone suggested Global Conlang Writing Month, but LoCoWriMo sounds cooler than GloCoWriMo. And, appropriately enough, ''loco'' means "crazy" in Spanish. (See the CONLANG thread linked below for details.)

== Preparation ==

While excessive planning of your story is discouraged, excessive prep work of your language is encouraged. If you know you're going to write a fantasy story with dragons, elves, and sword-fights make sure you've got those words ready. Similarly, if you're writing about an office-worker, make sure you know how to talk about spreadsheets. The fewer words and constructs you have to come up, with the more time you'll have to actually write your story.

Many Wrimos have only the vaguest of ideas of what they will write about on November first, and those who do plan ahead are encouraged to not do much more than a simple outline and listing of characters. The goal is to have fun being creative, not to write the next masterpiece.

== Rules ==

In general we're following the same rules as NaNoWriMo. Whatever you write must be new (no continuing an existing story), and fictional. The goal you set for yourself should be difficult, but attainable. Lack of sleep, and excessive coffee drinking is common among "WriMos".

Like NaNoWriMo, the emphasis here is on quantity, not quality. While you should, obviously, try and make your story grammatically correct, editing to improve plot, continuity, or anything else is discouraged. Just keep writing. With NaNoWriMo the goal is to complete a novel within one month. While we may not be able to accomplish the same thing with our conlangs, we can do our best, and along the way many of our languages will improve greatly, which ties in to the lack of editing. By the end of the effort many of us will find our words and grammar have changed in non-trivial ways. If we were constantly going back to update the start of the story to match the the language at the end, we'd never get much written.

== Followup ==

If you're overall satisfied with the story as a whole, but dissatisfied with particular defects, you may want to revise it to a greater or lesser extent (or entirely rewrite it), either for aspects where the grammar or lexicon has changed in the course of writing or to fix plot holes or tighten up the flow of the story or whatever, sometime after you've finished the first draft during October. You don't have to; participating in LoCoWriMo doesn't commit you to that.

Conlang-L FAQ

2009-06-24T01:44:14Z

Arthaey:

==Where to get Conlang-L==

The official archives are at http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/conlang.html . From there, you can search the archives, get an RSS feed, manage your subscription, etc.

It's also the ONLY place you can go to sign up and post things to the list.

A read-only archive with a nicer user interface is at http://archives.conlang.info/ .

Conlang-L is also mirrored as a Yahoo group, but there is no way to have posts to the Yahoo group sent to the actual list. Do not subscribe to the Yahoo group. It has no admin anymore. Go to http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/conlang.html instead!

==A brief history of the list==

The list evolved from some informal email conversations among an early group of language enthusiasts. The earliest mail mirror was run by John Ross out of the BU physics department, and was up and running by ??? (details still needed here). It moved to Denmark on 23 March, 1993.

The original note reads in part:

By agreement with John Ross, the CONLANG mailing list has been moved
to diku.dk, the mail hub of the CS Department of the University of
Copenhagen. Send all submissions to CONLANG at diku dot dk. The address at
buphy still works, but it is just an alias for the new list.

Lars Mathiesen (U of Copenhagen CS Dept) (Humour NOT marked)

Later, growing traffic and changes at the university necessitated a move. In 1997 the list moved to its current home at Brown University's LISTSERV server. David Durand made the move and actively moderated the list from that point on.

In ??? John Cowan took over actual moderation duties, as "Lord of the Instrumentality".

Later the torch was passed to Henrik Theiling.

==Subject Topic Tags==
In the subject line of a post, you can mark the post with one of the following tags. Tags are only recognised if a colon follows and not other decoration (e.g. brackets) are used. Any 'Re:' etc. is irrelevant -- the software skips it.

Good tag syntax:

CHAT: Is the world really round?

Bad tag syntax:

[CHAT]: Is the world really round?

These are the official tags the listserv software can be instructed to
filter automatically. There are currently exactly three:
* CHAT: off-topic stuff of the conversational sort
* USAGE: natural language usage (all of the YAEPT and similar should use this)
* THEORY: linguistic theory discussions
Only the above three tags are official and configured for filtering. However, most advanced mail clients can be set to have extra filters, such as for the following unofficial tags:

* OT: should not be used, use CHAT instead as some software had problems with 'OT'
* OFFLIST: not actually seen on-list, this tag is added to make explicitly clear that you are taking a subject offlist (i.e. you're emailing someone directly about it)

The following are explicitly not included in the list of filterable tags:
* META: threads about CONLANG-L itself
* TECH: technical issues (e.g. email programs, list-related technical problems, etc)

Finally, there are two meta-tags:
* [CONLANG]: This should not be actually added when starting a new subject; you can make the listserv prepend it automatically to all email (so that you can set your mail client to filter all list traffic)
* WAS: used to change the subject, or more commonly, to indicate that the subject of a thread changed a while ago and you're no longer pretending it's about the original topic

Example:

JAMA says flat earth leads to flat [@] (WAS: CHAT: Is the world really round?)

Note that tags ARE included after the WAS, but RE: is NOT, nor is [CONLANG].

==Acronyms==
List of acronyms specific to the Conlang Mailing List:

* AFMCL - "As for my conlang.."
** AFMOCL - "As for my own conlang"
* ANADEW - "A natlang's already dunnit, except worse"
* ANADEWism - Something you thought was unique, but ANADEW
* LCC - the [http://conlangs.berkeley.edu Language Creation Conference]
* NLF2DWS or NLWS - Non-linear [fully 2-dimensional] writing system
* YAEPT (the original acronym) - Yet Another English Pronunciation Thread
** YADPT ... Dutch Pronunciation ...
** YAGPT ... German Pronunciation ...
** YAEGT ... English Grammar ...
** general pattern: YA(Language)(Topic)T

==Other conlang-specific vocabulary==

From [http://cassowary.free.fr/Linguistics/Conlang%20Dictionary/ here] and [http://arthaey.mine.nu/~arthaey/conlang/faq.html here]:

con__
* constructed __ (generally a contraction): conlang, conworld, conhistory, .conculture, ..

__lang
* a language characterised by ___ (generally a contraction): conlang, artlang, auxlang, ...

artlang
# A language constructed for the beauty or fun of doing so. [From art(istic) + lang(uage)]
# (See conlang) [From art(ificial) + lang(uage)]

auxlang
* A language constructed to replace or complement natlangs to facilitate cross-linguistic communication. [From aux(iliary) + lang(uage)]

concultural [From con(structed) + cultur(e) + al]
* Adjective form of "conculture".

conculture [From con(structed) + culture]
* A fictional culture created as a backdrop to a conlang. See also "conworld".

conlang [From con(structed) + lang(uage)]
# n. A constructed language
# v. To construct a language

CONLANG (all caps), conlang-l, Conlang-L, or CONLANG-L
* A very active conlang mailing list hosted by brown.edu, and currently operated by Henrik Theiling

conworld [From con(structed) + world]
* A fictional world created to host a conlang or conculture. See also "conculture".

engelang /ˈendʒlæŋ/
* A conlang that is designed to certain criteria, such that it is objectively testable whether the criteria are met or not. This is different from claiming that the criteria themselves are 'objective'. For example, the Lojban/Loglan roots are designed to be maximally recognisable to the speakers of the (numerically) largest languages in the world in proportion to the number of speakers. It is not a matter of taste whether this criterion is met; it is something that can be tested. (by John Cowan) [From eng(ineered) + lang(uage)]

etabnannery /ra:mnænəɹi/
* The state of appearing entirely unpredictable, but, upon closer analysis, failing at even being that. [From Etá̄bnann(i), a conlang by Tristan McLeay, which was supposed to have an unpredictable orthography, but ended up just having a confusing one. Damn people trying to make patterns everywhere. At least it's a bugger to typeset!... errm... back to the derivation + -ery]

maggelity /mə"gɛ:lIti/ [From Maggel, a conlang by Christophe Grandsire which has a rarely predictable orthography]
# The state of being entirely unpredictable. (Tristan McLeay)
# The state of being regularly unpredictable, such as to horribly confuse anyone unfamiliar with the language, lulling them into a full sense of security before pointing out, cartoon-character-style, that the ground no longer exists where they're standing. (Tristan McLeay and H. S. Teoh)

Maggel's Paradox
* Your radical ideas have already occurred to others. (Muke Tever)

natlang [From nat(ural) + lang(uage)]
# A natural language, i.e., one that naturally developed in the world, as opposed to a conlang.

ObConlang
* Just before something about conlanging in an otherwise off-topic post.
* From ob(ligatory) + conlang (i.e., an obligatory on-topic comment about conlangs just so that the post isn't completely off-topic).

translation relay
* A game similar to Telephone or Chinese Whispers, wherein the participants translate a passage one at a time, in serial, into their own languages - and then marvel at how far from the original the translations have gotten.

==CXS (Conlang X-SAMPA)==
[[CXS]] is a version of X-SAMPA for use on the CONLANG mailing list. X-SAMPA is a way to write the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) using normal plain-ASCII text that everyone can read.

* [http://www.theiling.de/ipa/ Theiling Online: Conlang X-Sampa (CXS)] - includes CXS-to-IPA conversion chart

Khangaþyagon Verbs

2009-04-15T18:45:12Z

Arthaey: /* Verbs */ typo correction

==Verbs==

Khangaþyagon is an agglutinating language, and its grammatical affixes are suffixes - the native term is segunakar, "follow-parts".

===Stem, Person, Infinitive and Participles===

The stem of a verb always ends in a consonant. This is obligatorily followed by either one of the person suffixes

;a:1p
;e:2p
;i:3p

which refer to the person of the subject of the verb, or the infinitive ending

;o:infinitive

or by a participle suffix

;on/ont:present participle
;osht:past participle

A participle may refer to a person characterised by the action, rather than the action itself. Which sense a participle has is entirely lexical, as is whether the verb has the "on" or "ont" form of the present participle. These do not correlate.

These may then be followed by the following segunakar, in order of occurrence

===Reflexiveness===

;d+reduplication of person ending:Reflexive

===Continuous aspect===

;ha:Continuous

===Perfect aspect===

;fœ:Perfect

===Tense===

;ng:past tense
;kh:future tense

Present is unmarked

===Voice===

;uf:passive

Active is unmarked

===Mood===

;azh:Conditional
;lt:Imperative
;dau:Interrogative

Indicative is unmarked

===Negation===

;she:not

===Number===

This refers to the number of the subject of the verb.

;(a)r:plural

The a appears epenthetically when this segunak follows a consonant.

===Paradigm Summary===
The form of the verb can thus be summarised as 
<nowiki>
{set of alternatives, separated by commas}
</nowiki> 
<nowiki>
[optional segunak]
</nowiki> 
<nowiki> stem+{person,infinitive,participle}+[Reflexiveness]+[continuous]+[perfect]+[tense]+[voice]+[mood]+[negation]+[number]
</nowiki>

X-SAMPA

2005-05-08T20:56:58Z

Arthaey:

'''X-SAMPA''' is an ASCII version of the [[IPA]]. It is a generalized extension of [[SAMPA]], a set of systems for transcribing the phonemes of various languages.

On the Conlang list, the X-SAMPA variant [[CXS]] is more popular than plain X-SAMPA.

Homonyms Across Languages

Arthaey: /* L */ new word, posted to list

Please add any homonyms from your language to the list! This page is new, so we still need to determine "rules":

;Homonym display
:How are we writing the homonyms down? IPA or X-SAMPA would seem the best choice for a multilingual list.
::* I vote for IPA in Unicode, even though this is somewhat cumbersome to type. [[User:Arthaey|Arthaey]] 23:58, 1 Mar 2005 (PST)

;Requirements for addition
:Part of the reason for having this list centralized on the wiki is to make it easy to add only one's own words to the list, rather than compare one's entire lexicon against all other languages' lexicons. But does this mean that we eventually ''want'' to have a single page with the collective lexicons of all languages, arranged "alphabetically" by IPA character? That seems like a whole lot of words -- then again, that might be exactly what this list is ''supposed'' to be, in which case it's a good thing. Thoughts?
::* I've added an /ɑ/ section with all the Asha'ille words beginning with that phoneme. I also removed syllable stress indication from the /ɑ/ entries. Is this how we want to proceed with additions? [[User:Arthaey|Arthaey]] 02:47, 2 Mar 2005 (PST)
