Description

Explore the fascinating world of glossopoesis with Fictional Languages in Science Fiction Literature. This scholarly work from the Routledge Studies in Speculative Fiction series provides a broad survey of invented languages used throughout literary history. From the early examples found in Thomas More's Utopia (1516) to modern science fiction, this book examines how authors use language to build their worlds. The text investigates various forms of language invention, including exotic names, isolated untranslated sentences, and complex systems featuring full grammar and vocabulary. By looking at these linguistic elements, the book offers a multifaceted account of how these tools function within a narrative. It examines different theories regarding the role of fictional languages, such as their connection to phonaesthetics and their impact on the storytelling process. This is an essential resource for readers interested in the intersection of linguistics and speculative fiction.
