How to Evolve Your Conlang - Part 1: Sound Change

How to Evolve Your #Conlang - Part 1: Sound Change

Languages are never set in stone, and your conlang shouldn’t really be either. This is to be the first part of a recurring series on the basics of historical linguistics and how to evolve your conlang. In this first part, I will discuss the various kinds of sound changes that can occur and how to apply them to conlanging.

The obvious way to use historical linguistics in conlanging is to first…

Some interesting data from the dissertation just mentioned in my last reblog (Kaspar Ozoliņš (2015), Revisiting Proto-Indo-European Schwebeablaut).

Two other regular changes exhibited here are worth highlighting as well:

dissimilation *r-r > ł-r, in ‘brother’ and ‘spring’;

epenthesis of a or e (don’t ask me in what distribution) before an original word-initial consonant cluster *Cr-, in the last four examples.

In linguistics, there is this term dissimilation which essentially means what it sounds like it means — it’s a linguistic process in which similar sounds (i.e. consonants or vowels) become less similar. This is often done in order to make words easier to say or to avoid repeating identical structures. Usually it’s pretty predictable: if there is the right linguistic environment for it, then the sounds will be changed. People don’t want to stumble over a mouth full of the same syllables, after all. Yet, this process can also be sporadic and unexpected.

Fascism in 1944

National Socialist Positive Christianity

The Smith & Zurcher Dictionary of American Politics, updated in 1945 from Smith’s 1924 edition, very cautiously “defined” fascism NOT as religious socialism during WWII, but rather:

fascism.The authoritarian political system and totalitarian social regime evolved by Benito Mussolini and his followers of the Fascist party in Italy after 1922, hence any…
