{"product_id":"a-third-dictionary-grammar-suzette-haden-elgin-9780359778232","title":"A Third Dictionary \u0026 Grammar of L畭dan","description":"This book includes material from 1st Dictionary and Grammar (1988) and merges it with new vocabulary created for the L adan website. Elgin died in 2015, but interest persists in the language she created in 1982, embodied in her SF \"Native Tongue\" series. L adan is a feminist constructed language created by Elgin to test the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that the language one speaks influences the way one thinks, i.e., can a language expressing the views of women shape a culture? L adan includes morphemes that require speakers to own their own perceptions-words that indicate, for instance, whether a statement comes from personal observation, a trusted source, or an unreliable third party. Nowadays Elgin might argue that accusations of \"fake news\" would be impossible in L adan. This language also encodes speakers' intentions into their sentences, eliminating another form of micro-aggression, the rude comment that is passed off as \"just a joke.\" All proceeds will go to the Science Fiction Poetry Association.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzette Haden Elgin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0359778232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780359778232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.72d","brand":"Suzette Haden Elgin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043708104959,"sku":"9780359778232","price":26.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_127ef4f8-b86b-46f3-9931-84333a3f4ce8.jpg?v=1684968694","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-third-dictionary-grammar-suzette-haden-elgin-9780359778232","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
