hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. From ancient Greek comedy to Tolkien's Elvish languages and Orwell's Newspeak, fictional worlds have long been enhanced by the use of constructed languages or 'conlangs'. This survey of both familiar and obscure examples covers the processes involved in their creation and shows how they help to deepen our understanding of fantastical realms and universes - illustrating the truth of the Klingon Language Institute's motto qo'mey poSmoH Hol ('Language opens worlds').

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A linguistic and creative masterpiece on entertainment's constructed languages to instruct and delight fans and creators alike. This is a book about languages that aren't real: those from countries that don't exist, alien languages, languages of mythological creatures and languages spoken in an imagined future or parallel universe. But they are also languages that are, to the highest degree, living on Earth thanks to their enthusiastic fans. Klingon, Valyrian, Syldavian, Na'vi, Lilliputian, Orcish these are a few of the 139 fictional languages that xenosociolinguist Yens Wahlgren delights in and unravels. This is not a grammar book or a lexicon but rather an exploration through time and space, through worlds and universes arisen from the imagination, through pop culture and linguistic nerdship. Follow Wahlgren on a journey through the universes of Tolkien, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Doctor Who and Marvel, from the complex and beautiful Elvish to the seemingly nonsensical yet surprisingly considered hoots of Pingu, and learn the creative and sociological value of constructed languages across the world (and beyond). AUTHOR: Yens Wahlgren is a xenosociolinguist, communicator and writer. He works at Lund University and previously worked as a journalist. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Klingon, and his 'Klingon as linguistic Capital' is a standard for its speakers and in the study of the alien language. Yens has had a lifelong interest artificial languages in literature and in popular culture. 15 b/w illustrations A guide to the galaxy of invented languages perfect for language lovers or any fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, Game of Thrones and many more Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
