There has long been interest in invented languages, also known as constructed languages or conlangs, both in the political arena (as with Esperanto) and in the world of literature and science fiction and fantasy media - Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin, Dothraki in \u003cem\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/em\u003e, and Klingon in the \u003cem\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/em\u003e franchise, among many others. Linguists have recently served as language creators or consultants for film and television, with notable examples including Jessica Coon's work on the film \u003cem\u003eArrival\u003c\/em\u003e Christine Schreyer's Kryptonian for \u003cem\u003eMan of Steel\u003c\/em\u003e, David Adger's contributions to the series \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e, and David J. Peterson's numerous languages for \u003cem\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/em\u003e and other franchises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters in this volume show how the use of invented languages as a teaching tool can reach a student population who might not otherwise be interested in studying linguistics, as well as helping those students to develop the fundamental core skills of linguistic analysis. Invented languages encourage problem-based and active learning; they shed light on the nature of linguistic diversity and implicational universals; and they provide insights into the complex interplay of linguistic patterns and social, environmental, and historical processes. The volume brings together renowned scholars and junior researchers who have used language invention and constructed languages to achieve a range of pedagogical objectives. It will be of interest to graduate students and teachers of linguistics and those in related areas such as anthropology and psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Punske\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198829884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198829881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Jeffrey Punske","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942650347775,"sku":"9780198829881","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_373419af-fce5-45ec-a3bf-4330db755a68.jpg?v=1681493571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-invention-in-linguistics-pedagogy-jeffrey-punske-9780198829881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
