#englangs

LCC11 will have over 26 hours of content (over twice as much as our last in-person conference); two invited speakers (Deaf linguist Dr. Erin Moriarty Harrelson and blind linguist Dr. Sheri Wells-Jensen); ASL and BSL interpretation; two tracks; multiple specialty sessions, including sign languages, loglangs, and writing systems; both open and private meetups (Christian, pro conlanger, ASL signer, autistic, disabled, plural, queer, and trans & non-binary); and a special conlang-centric performance from the Riddlesbrood Touring Theater Company.

Please register by March 4th to have a say in scheduling and time allocations (it's in the registration form).

Register by March 11th to get early registration discount, and to order an LCC11 shirt (and to contribute your conlang to its design).

Regular in person registration is $95, online $30 — with discounts for early registration and LCS members, and as-able rates for self-declared financial need. Shirts are $20 plus shipping (if any), only available if ordered by March 11th.

We look forward to seeing you all there! Please, I would ask anyone who sees this to spread the announcement and news far and wide. It would really help us get the word out about our event! This year’s conference is *by far* the largest and most ambitious LCC yet.

Fiat lingua,

Margaret, LCS President

Oh my God this is so cool. Fith is an engineered language that uses Last In First Out (or “stack”) logic to construct sentences from series of words. For example to express “the fat hen is on the box” you say “Hen fat the box the on is.” (i.e. “First take a hen, it’s also fat, it’s specific. Take a box, it’s specific. Their relationship is A is on B. That whole preceding series of instructions...is.”)

Sentences like this are impossible for humans to speak without preparation, but you could easily imagine aliens talking this way.
