Event session

How do you create a realistic but fictional language from the ground up? Linguists and authors who have done just that discuss what it takes to create a convincing language, from cultural contexts to sound systems to grammars to vocabularies.

As easy as a Babel Fish is, usually alien languages are handled differently in science fiction. The panelists discuss various alien languages and how they are understood.
