Davis Petersons talk at the Language Creation Conference

(1/5) > >>

ingsve:
There is now video available from David Petersons talk at the Language Creation Conference.

Right now there is only the unedited ustream footage available but I think ultimately they will get chopped up and hosted somewhere else.

For now the talk can be found here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/14695942

The talk starts at around 11:50 into the video. The slides are hard to see so it's easier to just follow along with the slides on PDF: http://conference.conlang.org/lcc4/speakers/djplcc4.pdf

Later on I'll summarize all the information that is given in the talk.

Jenny:
For the relay, we got a lot of information and new words as well
(I don't really know what's new and what's not...)

Yep, those will take some time to sift through, especially the second one that doesn't have a vocabulary.

I just went through the talk and there were around 38 new words there depending on how you count.

KoErin:
I just updated the Vocabulary with the words from the first relay.

He introduces the "ni" (innanimate noun) classification, I put it on the Vocabulary as well.
Words such as dorvi  as ni. and dorv as n. I kept on the Vocabulary., but it may not be necessary.
David translates the word 'fini' as WH-word, but I'm not sure  what this means (what/which/who/whom etc?).

KoErin:
I tried to guess what is what in the second Dothraki relay from the LCC4. Here are my guesses.

Some of the words are already in the Vocabulary (I updated just a few moments ago), which I took from the first relay. I tried to keep it as simple and correct as I could, but it would be good to have a revision.
