Konstruirovanie yazykov: Ot esperanto do dotrakiyskogo
Aleksandr Piperski
People invent languages for a variety of purposes: to achieve a logical ideal, to better understand each other, or simply to give themselves and others aesthetic pleasure. Behind every artificial language are interesting personalities and dramatic stories of success or failure. What are artificial languages? How are they similar to natural languages, and how do they differ from them? What are their prospects in the modern world? Esperanto, Solresol, Rho, Transcendental Algebra, Quenya, Blissymbols, Paleneo, Navi, Dothraki - this is not a complete list of languages that will be discussed in this book from both a linguistic and historical point of view.
