• 14:02, 27 March 2025 Thomas talk contribs created page Evocative compounding (Created page with "= Motivations for Evocative Compounding = == Overview == One of the core design strategies in Sekimoli is the use of ''evocative'' semantic compounds. Rather than aiming for purely descriptive or taxonomic labels (e.g. "string instrument" or "wind instrument"), Sekimoli prioritizes compounds that are emotionally resonant, metaphorically vivid, or culturally iconic (e.g. "bear instrument", "moon instrument", "storm drink", etc.). This approach is not only aesthetically...")

• 19:26, 28 November 2024 Thomas talk contribs created page The sign is arbitrary (Created page with "==The Art of Crafting Memorable Compounds in Constructed Languages== In the world of constructed languages (conlangs), one of the most creative and enjoyable challenges is forming new words to describe concepts, objects, or creatures. A fundamental principle in linguistics is that the relationship between a word (the sign) and its meaning is arbitrary. This means that words do not inherently carry the essence of what they represent; rather, they are symbols agreed upon...")
• 10:07, 12 January 2024 Thomas talk contribs created page Counting objects (Created page with "Some languages simply combine numeral + object: : three beer The problem with this is that it makes it impossible to use numbers in compounds, e.g.: : three month Does this mean ''three months'' or ''March''? On balance, I think being able to use numbers in compounds is more important than being able to use numbers without connectors. So we need to say something like: : three GEN beer : beer ADJ three (I'm really not sure what the head and dependent are meant to be...")
• 08:36, 12 January 2024 Thomas talk contribs created page Chat about principles for choosing between a root or a compound (Created page with "I'm making a universal conlang, and from the perspective of cultural neutrality, which meals and dishes should be simple root words? Meals are probably best expressed as compounds, e.g., "morning meal", "noon meal" and "evening meal" for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but what about dishes? Do most cultures have soups, porridge, stews, pies, etc.? ChatGPT Creating a universal conlang is an intriguing challenge, especially when considering the representation of meals and d...")
• 12:42, 26 November 2023 Thomas talk contribs created page Tabelvortoj (Created page with "All of Esperanto's ''tabelvortoj'' can be expressed as compounds, e.g., ''kio'' = ''what thing'', ''iu'' = ''some person'', ''nenial'' = ''no reason''. We'll need the following initial parts: * ki- * i- * neni- * ĉi- * ti- (but one, two or three of these?) * other And the following final ones: * thing * person * reason * way/method * kind * time * amount/number")
• 20:09, 23 November 2023 Thomas talk contribs created page Chat about sensing verbs (Created page with " User In a neutral, easy-for-the-world-to-learn conlang, it would be good with a better approach to the sensing verbs. In English, we have hear/listen, see/look, but there's no pair for the other senses. In Danish, we have "få øje på", but no *"få øre/næse på". Using your knowledge of languages as different as Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, Turkish, Russian, Spanish and others, have you got any useful insights? ChatGPT The design of sensing verbs in languages varies...")
• 17:19, 23 November 2023 Thomas talk contribs created page Abugida (Created page with "Inspired by shorthand and Shavian, use simple shapes for the consonants, ideally moving left to right (like a dash). 'a' is the implicit vowel. 'i' and 'u' should attach only to the preceding consonants, given that they always finish a root (apart from proper nouns). 'ā', 'ē', 'ī', 'ō' and 'ū' should connect to both sides, given that they can never finish a root.")
