Language through maps

fsociety · 2020-10-15 17:35
Has anyone heard about acquiring a written language through map reading? Apparently the pictured latin book applies that scheme. I wonder if conlangs could find some success that way.

>>5491 I mean, there's maps in the book, but that's not the main part of it. It teaches through simple statements and dialogues, getting more complex as you go along. I don't see how you could learn a language just with maps.

>>5492 The beginning requires names. Map features, establish basic abstractions. Big or little; far or near; full or empty; clear or obstructed; liquid or solid, as well as basic prepositions, one can express with a map.

>>5493 Well, chapter 1 kind of does that by talking about geographical features to introduce basic structural features of the language. Not sure if that will fulfill all your wildest map-related desires.

I can imagine someone teaching a language with this map.

Any idea why alliteration helps?

Trying the apply the technique to Esperanto, I finished the first page. I hope to subvert toxic internet nationalists who tolerate misanthropes exploiting inside-jokes to patho-generate very dangerous biases, like on 8kun. Most words seem readily guessed, but validation from an external source helps. Necessarily difficult method: difficulty amplifies remembrance. Remember: "DIY - Do Your Best : D"

I tried to spoiler the thumbnail. Hopefully tasteful enough to not need.

tl;dr If you try your hand, I hope you have fun : ) >>5570 Such is but also isn't the intention.. well I forget to mention CC-BY-SA Karbo (the cover only). The maps I still need permission for. Macro'es significantly symbolize the feminine mode for social influence post-modernity. Prior to modernity, biological females imposed influence via maximal anonymity, un-egalitarian-ly protecting lives and population. Potential for information entropy is the scientific factor which predicts non-deterministic »hawt-ness«. The symbolism of a macro gts requires great potential for information entropy to complete the communication of what feminine mode social influence truly means AND requires expression via animation to communicate and retain the custom of anonymity.
