Conlangery #52: Conlangery at the Movies
28/05/2012 Duración: 01h28minFor our 52nd episode we decided to take a break from our usual format and just have a good time talking about movies and TV shows — with a conlang twist.

Conlangery #51: Language History
21/05/2012 Duración: 01h23minWe go a little out of our comfort zone and talk about language history — particularly as involves the diachronic method of creating a conlang.

Conlangery #48: Designing a Sound System
30/04/2012 Duración: 01h29minAfter a discussion of George’s recent consumption of bear meat, we get to talking about designing your sound system, a topic we meant to talk about in episode 29 but somehow didn’t end up saying much about.

Conlangery #47: Practicum — Isolating and Analytic Languages
23/04/2012 Duración: 01h23minToday we talk about something we wish more conlangers would think about creating — isolating and analytic languages. It seems that virtually everyone wants some polysynthetic madness or at least a complex verb paradigm, but there are ways to make isolation and analytic syntax interesting, we promise! Also, Taila Top of Show Greeting: Hra’anh Links... Read more »

Conlangery #44: Negation
02/04/2012 Duración: 01h17minFirst of all, George was on something called FourCast a bit ago. You might enjoy it. Also, CNN is doing a special on Dothraki on April 8.

Conlangery #43: Adpositions
26/03/2012 Duración: 01h32minToday, we spend a ridiculous amount of time talking about adpositions, creating an hour-long discussion out of something William thought would be short.

Conlangery #41: Discourse Particles
12/03/2012 Duración: 01h12minBianca’s last show as a regular host goes into a rather ambitious topic: discourse particles.

Conlangery #39: Noun Incorporation
27/02/2012 Duración: 01h08minGeorge gets Bianca’s name wrong and no one notices. We also have some digressions at the beginning and the end of the show, but somehow we end up talking a whole lot about noun incorporation, and the weird and wacky language known as Gevey.

Conlangery #36: Morphosyntactic Alignment
06/02/2012 Duración: 01h07minCORRECTION: A commenter below graciously corrected me on a point I (George) raised in the show.

I apologize for misidentifying the phenomenon I was talking about. We talk a lot about morphosyntactic alignment, outlining the basic... Read more »

Conlangery #35: Practicum – Getting Rid of Case Marking
30/01/2012 Duración: 01h40sWhat do you do when you want to make a language without case marking? Or with very little case marking? That is what we attempt to explore in this episode.

Conlangery #34: Gender and Noun Classes
23/01/2012 Duración: 01h11minAlternate Title: Genders, Classes, and Agreement, oh my! We talk today all about gender. Or noun class. Or both. Really, they are the same thing, at least we think so. Anyway, after a vivid and lively discussion on what can be done with the wonderful world of arbitrarily classifying nouns we review Taruven Top of... Read more »

Conlangery #33: Suprasegmentals
16/01/2012 Duración: 01h13minWe get right to it talking about suprasegmentals: mainly stress, phonation, tone, and nasalization.
