    This women’s language, called Láadan, wasn’t purely theoretical. Elgin, who had a PhD in linguistics and was the author of several books on language and power relations, including The Gentle Art of Verbal Self-Defense (1980), elaborated and described it in her A First Dictionary and Grammar of Láadan (1985).

    In addition to phonaesthetic concerns, Láadan, for example,includes sets of sentence-initial particles which encode pragmatic functions such as whether an utterance is a question, warning or promise, and the evidential strength of the utterance from the speaker’s perspective. The grammaticalisation of such discourse functions provides another example of conlangs as test cases: how much pragmatics can be put into a language? Conlangs are replete with such intriguing grammatical features,making them in effect living linguistic laboratories that allow us to test many language science hypotheses. (English)

    "Something about a secret language for women," Michaela told her. She calls it Ladin... lahadin... Latin? Almost like Latin, but with a lilt to it. And she keeps saying that it won't be long now, whatever that might mean." (English)
