Meeting Description:
The Language Creation Society and the Brown Department of Literary Arts are
pleased to announce the 3rd (almost-annual) conference on constructed languages
(conlangs). The conference is open to contributions and discussions about all
forms, techniques, and especially motivations for creating languages, whether as
works of art, subsidiary components to literary efforts, solutions to
communication problems, research tools, or teaching tools. We particularly look
forward to the interaction of language creators and interested writers of
fiction and poetry.
Glossopoesis and Glottotechnia: The Art and Science of Language?
The Third Language Creation Conference
For registration and other information, go to: http://conlang.org/lcc3/register.php
The conference will be held on the Brown University Campus in Providence Rhode
Island March 21-22, 2009. Traditional conference sessions and literary readings
are limiting for the kinds of broad interaction that we would like to foster so
we are planning on several types or participation, so that everyone will be able
to contribute:
Posters: Many people want to talk about projects that completed or in progress.
A poster may be the ideal format, writing systems, sample sentences, points of
grammatical interest -- put whatever you'd most like to show off in your project
on a big piece of paper and be ready to talk with people who are interested.
Traditional papers: For those whose research results or critical thinking demand
a structured argument or presentation, there will be presentation sessions.
Tutorials: How-to information is always welcome. Tutorial sessions on topics
like ''creating your first language,'' phonology, syntax, languages human brains
can't seem to understand (just to pick a few at random) -- all would be welcome.
No-one understands all about how natural languages work -- and constructed
languages are not even constrained by that, so tutorials at all levels can be
informative for everyone.
Unconference sessions: at LCC 2, Panel and discission sessions, as well as other
collaborative activities were verey successful. We'd like to continue and
perhaps expand that tradition by taking some ideas from the Compter world and
having slots for self-organized group sessions, where we'll help attendees
organize conversations around topics of interest.
We have been lucky to be able to schedule the conference in the Brown/RISD
Hillel House, and as we overlap with the Brown vacation, we have access to the
building as a whole, meaning that we have room for posters, presentation
sessions, impromptu meetings, and formal readings. We will even be able to enjoy
the garden, weather permitting!
We will make every effort to document the proceedings as fully as possible in
images, sound and video, and to make these available on physical media and the
internet.
Providence is a frequently overlooked gem. The Rhode Island School of Design
(RISD) is an art school with a great small museum; Brown has some great library
collections, and a beautiful campus; Benefit street, a few blocks from the
conference location, has one of the highest concentrations of restored colonial
homes in the country; Johnson and Wales University downtown has a fantastic
cooking and hotel school, so that good food and restaurants are abundant, and
the presence of university students also means that there's good food cheap for
those on a budget.
We are accepting proposals and suggestions for sessions (tell us what you want,
even if you can't do it all yourself, as we may be able to make it happen)
immediately. We will be updating the site and sending further announcements with
more practical details and program news.
This is a great opportunity to meet interesting people, learn and share
knowledge, and have fun with a group of people in a small city with the
amenities of a much larger one, due to its fascinating history, friendliness to
artists, world-class educational institutions, and enthusiastic citizens.
If you would like to participate - with a full talk, mini-talk about your
language, workshop, poster, etc - please let us know at lcsconlang.org.
