LING3462 (Constructed Languages) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Focuses on constructed languages (conlangs): linguistic systems that have emerged from conscious creation, rather than natural development. Surveys a number of well-known conlangs. Examines the motivations for their creation, their internal linguistic structures, and their status and effectiveness within the cultures (real or fictional) for which they were designed. Building on their knowledge of linguistic structure, offers students an opportunity to develop their own constructed languages.
