Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In the Land of Invented Languages tells the fascinating, hilarious, and wildly colorful story of man's enduring quest to build a better language. Klingon, Blissymbolics, and even modern Hebrew are but a few of the nearly nine-hundred invented languages that represent the hard work, high hopes, and full-blown delusions of so many misguided souls over the centuries. Peopled with charming eccentrics and exasperating megalomaniacs, the land of invented languages is a place where you can recite the Lord's Prayer in John Wilkins's Philosophical Language, say your wedding vows in Loglan, and read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in Lojban. With intelligence and humor, Arika Okrent has written a truly original and enlightening book for all the word freaks, grammar geeks, and plain old language lovers.Here is the captivating story of humankind's enduring quest to build a better language-and overcome the curse of Babel. Just about everyone has heard of Esperanto, which was nothing less than one man's attempt to bring about world peace by means of linguistic solidarity. And every Star Trek fan knows about Klingon. But few people have heard of Babm, Blissymbolics, Loglan (not to be confused with Lojban), and the nearly nine hundred other invented languages that represent the hard work, high hopes, and full-blown delusions of so many misguided souls over the centuries.
