Abstract:

Artificial languages are often classified on the basis of whether they
are based on natural languages or are attempts to build a language (or
at least the vocabulary of a language) "from scratch". The former type
are called 'a posteriori' languages and the latter 'a priori'
languages. This is not a strict dichotomy, but rather a spectrum, and
there may be no truly a priori languages. However, languages with
substantial a priori and a posteriori components have been labelled
'mixed' languages.

This book is a survey of several such languages. After an
introduction, there are chapters on phonetics, lexicon, morphology,
syntax, and semantics. Given that these languages are partly a priori,
one might wonder to what extent they conform to universals posited for
natural languages, and this is examined with respect to various
properties. The languages discussed include Volapük (by far the best
known and most successful language of this type), the Blue Language,
Gilo, pan-kel, and Vela.

Lingfield(s):  Language Description,

Subject Language(s):  Volapük (Language Code: CVOL)

Written In:  English (Language Code: ENG)
