Abstract:

Reading Fictional Languages brings together scholars, creators,
designers and speakers of fictional languages from across the world in
a unique book that explores the imagined languages of fantasy, science
fiction, dystopia and alternate realities. It explores the role of
invented languages in world-building, characterisation, and the
feeling of authentic immersion in the forms of thought of aliens,
animals, machines, and the people who inhabit alternative worlds from
our own.

Linguistic Field(s): Language Documentation
                     Philosophy of Language
