I just got word of an article that's to appear in Routledge's
Encyclopedia of Linguistics--a two volume set:
http://www.routledge-ny.com/ref/linguistics/
I heard that there was going to be an article on artificial
languages, and a professor here at UCSD (an Esperantist)
sent it as an attachment. So I read it. And uploaded it
here:
http://ling.ucsd.edu/~djp/dlstuff/esperantic.pdf
I think it's about four pages long. It discusses, amongst
many other fascinating topics:
(1) Various auxiliary languages
(2) Attempts at regularizing old European languages
(3) Volapuk
(4) Esperanto
And that's it. This is how artificial languages are being
represented in a major linguistic work. Sally: How's that
book coming?
