I have just recently subscribed to this CONLANG mailing list, but I have
been working in this general area for many years. I'd like to draw
to your attention a few of my web pages which you may find interesting:
http://www.island.net/~dpwilson/linguist.html -- a set of hypotheses
http://www.island.net/~dpwilson/acronyms.html -- acronymic language idea
http://www.island.net/~dpwilson/TGW.html -- more on acronyms
http://www.island.net/~dpwilson/narrate.html -- from languages to what?
I am not quite ready to spell out the details of the language I've been
trying to define, and I hope those pages will explain why -- briefly,
I started with the idea of a language composed ENTIRELY of acronyms,
and this quickly became the idea of a non-arbitrary ideal language, which
led me to do more empirical research rather than invention. But I retain
a great interest in constructed languages and see insightful invention
as one way to discover what may already exist.
