"New Media Linguistics" by David Peterson from Game of Thrones

I just watched Peterson's Google talk where he mentions how much he looks up to Sarah and how he wanted to meet her someday, and I'm so happy for him that she introduced him here!

[@ghostwriter991]

Sarah who can you kindly tell me her surname so i can google her

[@sallycaves7893]

Outstanding! A wonderful event, and so skillfully edited by Will Graver and his team! Thank you, David Peterson and everyone else involved!

He's so good he created the word embarrassable by accident.

"I didn't misspeak. I'm speaking my a posterior conlang E-Speak. It's based on English except embarrassable is a highly prestigious word and a posterior is considered the standard way to say that Latin phrase."

[@danadnauseam]

In my conlang in progress, I have a polysyllabic morphology with substantial agglutination, which renders rhyming poetry difficult. I decided that it would probably develop a poetry focusing on alliteration.

[@RexXXXXXXXXL]

Wow! That sounds interesting! do you have an example?

[@qwertyTRiG]

Biblical Hebrew does that.

[@danadnauseam]

On the question of whether speakers of Dothrako or Valeryan would resist change, the conservative tendency of Esperanto speakers suggests that Peterson is right. Zamenhof had no proprietary concerns with Esperanto.

I work in the industry and unfortunately it is very true. The only thing producers care about is making and saving money. They don't care for the art of any of it. They tend to get credit for stuff but in reality they do nothing artistically. A lot of the people behind the cool stuff in movies and TV shows are the people behind the scenes who are barely talked about. Producers just show up later and act like they contributed to stuff, when in reality we just gaslight them into thinking they are able to make artistic decisions that we actually pre-made so they feel like they did something.

Megdevi is a wonderful language

The hardest thing is escaping conventional ideas and rules

[@ghostwriter991]

Why you say this because i feel like conventional ideas and rules are like templates and exemplars to build upon like a scaffold

[@wordwielder887]

Why did he omit Thomas More’s Utopian?

[@fascilime]

my problem with language creation is that I really want to make a conlang, but I lack inspiration.

[@keegster7167]

Huh. This comment was written a year, just when I started conlanging. You just have to do it. Look at other people's conlangs perhaps. I always get inspiration from real life langauges. I then think of ideas on how I would change those languages, (which does not necessarily mean more logical either).

[@holdenturner8190]

I'm very sorry

[@plerpplerp5599]

Why would anyone want to create such a complicated conlang? Hmmm🤔

[@keegster7167]

Why would anyone do art? Hmmm.

[@markusklyver6277]

Yes, why create art? Bullshit concept no one cares abou... wait.
