Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed presentation of a newly proposed language, Glan-ik, meticulously designed to be monosyllabic, easy to learn, and well-suited for stenographic applications. The author seeks to address the communication needs of a globalized business environment and envisions Glan-ik as a potential tool for international trade. The book draws inspiration from the principles of selective agglutination observed in certain indigenous languages and employs condensation and re-condensation to create a concise vocabulary. The author argues for the superiority of monosyllabic languages and presents a comprehensive analysis of the English language, demonstrating that such a language is not only feasible but also advantageous. The book presents a comprehensive overview of Glan-ik, including its alphabet, grammar, and vocabulary. It delves into topics such as the use of prexes and suxes, the abolition of inections, and the creation of a phonetic spelling system. The book also explores the challenges posed by irregularities in language and highlights the strategies employed to overcome them. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the power of language as a tool for communication and a valuable contribution to the discussion of language design and the search for a universal language. It is a must-read for linguists, language enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring the possibilities of a new language for global communication.
