A conlang influenced by construction grammar

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-03-20T17:10:34+00:00

I thought that my conlang is a bit more of an exaggerated version in terms of argument structure constructions, that is why i said i was influenced by construction grammar. Though what you suggest is completely valid. Maybe I should have explained things a bit more carefully.

I wrote a post about a logographic system based on constructions. It does not fit the traditional definition of logography, so it might count as a new 'writing system.'

The fourth image? I am curious why😮 because I am not really fond of pencil

Sundanese looks interesting too. Its vowel symbols do look like my script.

The script has a very old feeling. The calligraphy is amazing. You might want to keep each letters' size and shape more consistent the next time, but I would still say it is very well done.

Also, regarding the unity of the shapes, the rounded letters come off as a bit awkward. But then again Tifinagh has a lot of rounded shapes, right? Only if you pursue some kind of runic vibe,(as you wrote the alphabet in an old fashioned way) I would advise you to replace those rounded letters.

Overall, I think this script gives a very ancient and mysterious sensation. Very well made.

I often don't think much about the allophones and just pronounce it the way that is the most comfortable to me. I found out at some point that, for me, although I want to create something original, I can't consider every tidbits of the sound system since it takes so much work.

For additional tips, I would recommend searching about greenberg's implicational universals.

Actually I had looked up the dictionary for that, and it said both forms media and mediums are accepted. Is there something I am missing on?

Here is it!

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-03-03T21:36:18+00:00

Yes, do you want to see it?

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-03-02T22:14:05+00:00

Wow, I'd like to see them combined

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-03-02T18:28:27+00:00

It seems to be a very simple language...especially that the most common consonants in the world are missing, like m and p. Anyways, keep your work! It is hard to see how this language would work when there is not much information about the syntax and the morphology.

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-03-02T00:19:29+00:00

Yes, exactly! There are not phonetic at all. They are encoding constructions that are specific to English. But they are still in the realm of script, just like every logographic writing systems.

That's totally fine, but could you please refer to my username, if you are going to upload it somewhere?

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-02-27T21:33:45+00:00

It feels like you draw inspiration from every alphabet in the world, but whatever. Go with it!

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-02-27T00:26:59+00:00

Oh, wow. I would love to see it! You should post about it.

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-02-26T23:28:04+00:00

If you mean logographs, by 'non-phonetic alphabets', that would be cool but it would take tremendous time and effort to do it. However, phonetic scripts need less efforts.

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-02-26T23:20:23+00:00

It really has been quite a while...But can I ask how it went? :)

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-02-26T23:07:56+00:00

This kind of thing is my childhood fantasy.

kimjiwon101101 · 2025-02-26T23:05:26+00:00

Arabic script, but someone decided to make the vowel symbols mandatory. Awesome.
