LCC2 schedule squeeeee!
saizai just sent round the schedule for the 2nd Language Creation Conference, and, wow, just wow. Squee. Yay. Party. I really, really can't wait. This makes me ridiculously happy. Unnumbered thanks to Sai, David Peterson, the other organizers, and the speakers (including David Salo!).
The lineup for the Second Language Creation Conference has been set!
This year's lineup has a fantastic series of hour-length
talks--including one by David Salo, the linguist who worked out the
Tolkienian dialog in the Lord of the Rings movies--and a new series of
short, conlang-specific talks that allows conlangers to talk about
their own languages, and the engineering and artistry that went into
creating them. Additionally, there will be several panel discussions,
and a live unveiling of the conlang relay done by conference attendees
the month prior.
