Re: Coniversetropes

Gender is another -- it's linguistic, or, if not linguistic, social or cultural. Some of us might not even have one. In my experience, gender is a synonym of sex. When talking about it in a linguistic sense, most people refer to it as "grammatical gender". Just because a semantic shift is...

Re: Random phonology/phonemic inventory thread

Spanish has /tʃ/ without having /ʃ/, so it's certainly not unheard of.

Re: How NOT to Conworld.

IMO, still preferable to the Loli - Pope . Oh my god, that's just terrible. Never remind me of it again. Anyway, back on topic. One of the things that annoys me most in fantasy is the tendency to have species be equivalent to civilizations, made even worse if those "races" are clearly ide...

Re: How NOT to Conworld.

I would, but it seems honestly preoccupied with being "edgy". The only humour comes from the orcs, and it's a pretty comic-relief-ish sort of humour. It seems like an attempt at serious worldbuilding that sank into unintentional comedy.

Re: How NOT to Conworld.

Ehhh. I'm inclined to be charitable toward it, since it does break a lot of Science fiction clichés. On the other hand, the bleakness is really over the top, and as for the entire species of universally sadomasochistic space pirates... words fail me.

Re: Under- and overrated conlangs

It's not really a bad purpose, but it could have been fulfilled much more elegantly. The phonemic inventory has no logic, the phonology is boring and the grammar is a hasty agglomeration of "exotic" features. As for the orthography, I can't adequately describe it without gross overuse of c...
