Language: Appreciation and Creation from a Creative and Linguistic Perspective
About the Event
It’s everything and everywhere and, as writers, the material of our craft. What would a writer be without a language to write in? Joins us in a series of studios designed to encourage your own experimentation with language through two specific and exciting avenues: the practice of creating artificial languages and the celebration of indigenous languages as vehicles for storytelling.
Join us for a crash course in the creative potential of linguistics. What are Conlangs? How does an appreciation for indigenous language and Old languages open the doors for our own creative practice? All levels of background knowledge in linguistics, indigenous languages, and world building welcome!
