Current Issue

The editors and publishers of Speculative Grammarian are pleased to announce that another issue of our august journal is now available. This issue offers many excellent features, including an exposé on the deep relationships between vocabulary and culture, a look at the dangers of exposing children to random phonology videos found on the internet, and the proverbial passing of the torch to a new generation of investigators of bizarre grammars—along with the usual collection of letters from our readers, breaking news, limericks and other poetry, linguistic propaganda, puzzles, announcements, advertisements, and more...

Next time (August 2017), we will have another all-new issue of Speculative Grammarian.

Our Mission

Our new mission is two-fold:

First, we will continue to publish the best works of satirical linguistics available anywhere—in various formats, including online publishing, audio podcasts, and micro-blogging, more micro-blogging, and other social media. We are, of course, looking for submissions for upcoming issues of SpecGram.

Second, we seek to transform other satirical linguistics resources from their current dead-tree format to a more readily disseminated bit-based format. Our most recent project has been the conversion of the anthologies Lingua Pranca and Son of Lingua Pranca.

More To Come
