Conlangery Podcast - All episodes grouped by topic

Post by Nel Fie »

When I work on a particular aspect of a conlang, I find that it's very useful to get refreshers on the topic in questions - and there's no better than something like an episode of Conlangery; a piece of pure audio that can be easily integrated into largely mindless activities like dishwashing, taking a walk or watering plants in the garden.

However, the Conlangery website makes it a bit difficult to find all episodes related to a particular topic even with the tags, and I often spend a lot of time searching - so I decided to just fix the problem once and for all and make an ordered list. I've made it mainly for myself, but I thought others might have use of it too.

That said, here's some notes.
1) I didn't re-listen to every episode while making the list, and grouped them based on the title and the descriptions. So, some of them might end up recategorized if I listen to them again and find they don't fit the group. If you find that an episode is in the wrong group, let me know and I might change it.
2) Some of the groups are broader than others - I didn't see the point of having groups with only a few episodes, or a group with too many.
3) My understanding of terminology is quite likely not as good as it could be, so you might find some of the category titles unfitting. Feel free to let me know if you think a title change, or a recategorization on that basis is in order.
4) My main interest was in episodes about conlanging theory and practice, and related natural linguistics. As a result, I've not been too discerning about grouping anything I found to be outside of that.
5) Instead of ordering the groups alphabetically, I prefered to order them roughly in the sequence I would likely need them in (e.g. start with phonology, move on to basic grammar, etc...), or by general saliency. Within a group, I tried to keep the order chronological. This is mainly motivated by older episodes making references to earlier ones.
6) Some categories have inevitable overlap, so putting one episode into one or the other is less of an assertion on my part, and more of a choice made because it needed to be done.

Impressive work [:)]
There are some minor things that I would probably sort in a different category. Applicatives are not a word class but a morphological category that is usually marked on verbs, for instance. I would probably also sort the grammar/morphosyntax part a bit differently, but this might be a matter of taste.

Thank you very much!
I added a link to a viewable/downloadable PDF file, right on top of the list. I'll do my best to keep it up-to-date

Good catch - I moved the applicatives episode to the verb category (if you agree with that).
As for any other recategorisation or grouping changes, you're welcome to make suggestions! I did the best I could, but my understanding of linguistic terminology and the underlying branches is still fresh and shaky, so getting corrected on useage would be a good learning opportunity - and likely an improvement of the list itself.

UPDATE: I added all the conlangs and natlangs that preceded the format change in episode 60, which were featured as a sub-section of a particular episode. You'll find them listed at the beginning of the "Conlangs" and "Natlangs" lists respectively, with the number of the episode, the name of the featured language, and a timestamp in parentheses showing more or less when the section starts in the episode. The update is included in the PDF, so download it again if you want an up-to-date file.

No, you are correct - there is currently an issue with the website. I already notified them about it a few days ago, but no idea if and when it'll be fixed.

Edit: As of 19/10/2022, the information in this post is no longer relevant - all episodes should be available on the website, and there is no need to send downloaded episodes to Conlangery. I'm leaving the post as is for archival reasons.

An update in regards to the episodes not available: Conlangery just issued a statement that there's been a mess-up regarding the hosting. You can read the details in the Twitter thread here.

There is, however, an important call-up as part of it: some of the episode audio files might have been lost, at least on their side. So, if you've downloaded any and still have them, please get in touch with Conlangery - they might have need of you sending them some if not all files you may have.
They haven't stated what the best avenue for contact is, but I'd assume using their contact e-mail address given on the website would be best. You can find it here: Link (last line of the second paragraph of the post.)

Crisis Averted - and good news! All episodes of Conlangery have been restored and are now again available on the site. At least one external archive has also been created in case something like this happens again - I don't know if anything more formal will be created, but for the time being, you can contact Slorany (link to their Twitter profile) to access it.

Conlangery just released a new episode about Whistle Registers, with guest Logan Kearsley. I've added it to the list under "Typology" (although it operates more like a register in natural languages), both here in the thread and the pdf file.

A new episode was released: 153 - Information Structure with Aidan Aannestad

I added it to the list and pdf file under the "Syntax and Syntactic Relationships" section since that seemed the most fitting (the second category, specifically). Feel free to suggest a better section if I got it wrong, though.

A new episode is out! Wherein George talks with David J. Peterson and Jessie Sams about their upcoming conlanging convention: Kopikon!
And in a new development, it was recorded with video, and also uploaded as such to YouTube. You can find a link on the episode's page on the Conlangery website, but I've also added a "(VIDEO)" tag after the relevant episodes. And the .pdf is of course updated to match.

Summary of additions:

I've added the most recent Conlangery content, though there might no longer much need for it for a variety of reasons.

George recently started a new livestream series under the Conlangery brand called "Tongues & Runes". Hosted on YouTube, he creates conlangs for the Dungeon & Dragons universe, with audience participation via chat. I've added existing episodes in their own little section, though this might not be necessary since finding them on the Conlangery YouTube channel is pretty easy, in comparison to the official website of the podcast (and improving on that was the whole point of this thread).

Aside from this, George recently announced his decision to switch the podcast to a new format, dedicating it exclusively to interviewing guests, sometimes on specific topics if appropriate. Since I don't know exactly how topically coherent those episodes will be going forward, I'm listing them under their own group for the time being.

The PDF is updated, additions to the list are:
