Abstract

Constructed languages, also known as conlangs, are languages that have been purposefully created for either real-world or fictional speakers. Within this article, I provide a summary of the language creation process and how the community of conlangers, people who make languages, come to know each other's work, as well as how language creation assignments are being adopted within university classrooms. I also explore the role of the language creator in bringing a community of speakers into existence through the invention of a language. I discuss whether speakers of a constructed language are part of a community of practice or a speech community and the implications for this distinction within anthropology. I also describe conscripts, or constructed orthographies, as well as the relationship between endangered languages and constructed languages, how invented worlds can create real-world shifts in worldview, and suggestions for new directions in research linking anthropology and constructed languages. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Anthropology, Volume 50 is October 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

构建语言
构造语言,也称为conlang,是专门为现实世界或虚构的说话者创建的语言。在这篇文章中,我提供了一个语言创造过程的总结,以及语言创造者社区如何了解彼此的工作,以及语言创造任务如何在大学课堂中被采用。我还探讨了语言创造者的角色,通过语言的发明,使一个讲语言的群体得以存在。我讨论了一种建构语言的使用者是属于实践社区还是言语社区的一部分,以及这种区别在人类学中的含义。我还描述了征兵,或构建的正字法,以及濒危语言和构建语言之间的关系,发明的世界如何创造世界观的现实世界转变,以及对人类学和构建语言研究新方向的建议。预计《人类学年度评论》第50卷的最终在线出版日期为2021年10月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
