Deep dives

Using linguistic theories for conlanging

Linguistic theories can be useful tools for conlangers, providing frameworks for creating naturalistic conlangs. While theories can bias conlangers towards certain language structures, they offer valuable resources for understanding language patterns and features. It is important to remember that theories describe observed patterns in natural languages, but they are not definitive or comprehensive. Conlangers can choose theories that align with their goals and use the tools they provide to develop their conlang effectively. By learning the language of linguistics, conlangers can communicate their ideas better and access a wider range of resources for their conlanging endeavors.
