Since my story involves stolen brain bits, regenerating stem cells and biomimetic computer neural nets, it's safe to say it won't happen any time soon. If somebody tried to teach Ithkuil to a baby, we might finally see what the limit of Chomsky's "Universal Grammar" really is.Dino Sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703678055905910951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471598113649554347.post-53996715458246093892010-01-18T20:40:56.783-08:002010-01-18T20:40:56.783-08:00And Lojban fans are sure IT will be next big thing...And Lojban fans are sure IT will be next big thing.<br /><br />I like Model T Fords, Brian, I really do. <br />Just don't expect it to keep up with a 60s muscle car, let alone a modern sedan.<br />I noticed the # attending the Esp-o Congresses is not growing over the decades. <br /><br />Yeah, Matthew, I hope to court a niche patron group. Everything from humanists to hard atheists. And Decimese will actually have the tenets it espouses in the very core of the language, rather than being a gimmick to market it after the fact.dino sniderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506884722828854644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471598113649554347.post-63031226186284431082010-01-18T17:39:44.877-08:002010-01-18T17:39:44.877-08:00sranan (aka taki taki) appears to have vocab in th...sranan (aka taki taki) appears to have vocab in the 1000s already. Not suprising that it left the 3 digits quickly, since it has a few languages (English & Dutch) ready for bulk word loaning.<br /><br />Re: B Barker. The conlanger's first goal is avoid utter obscurity, not to dethrone or replace Esperanto. As long as a new language address an audience and problem different than Esperanto's, it can find an audience and attract a fan or two. [not to say there isn't a role for throw-away conlangs, too]Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646017031391760015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471598113649554347.post-65488802909274431082010-01-18T09:53:00.858-08:002010-01-18T09:53:00.858-08:00I think that the choice is between English or Espe...I think that the choice is between English or Esperanto as the future global language rather than an untried project. <br /><br />Your readers may be interested in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2LPVcsL2k0<br /><br />Dr Kvasnak teaches English at Florida Atlantic University.<br /><br />A glimpse of Esperanto can be seen at http://www.lernu.netBrian Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17619597021388228806noreply@blogger.com
