Sorry if this has already been said -- I can't manage to keep up
with Conlang. Claudio Gnoli (iirc, but it may have been another)
came up with "glossopoesia". I had independently come up with
"glossopoeia" in pre-Conlang days (iirc) -- it is after all an
obvious word -- but, and this is why I'm posting this, Steve
Deyo was publishing _Glossopoeic Quarterly__ in pre-Conlang
days. Yes, there were small conlang journals in pre-net days
(also _Taboo Jadoo_ and _journal of Planned Languages_), but of
course it was nigh-on impossible to discover their existence. But
it's useful to realize that not all artlangers were working in
ignorance of one another in pre-net days.
