Alan Libert, Adjunct Professor and Research Coordinator of the Department of English Language and Literature has a chapter in a major new book on artificial languages, The Palgrave Handbook of Constructed Languages, edited by Joseph W. Windsor and Alison Long and published by Palgrave Macmillan in July. Libert’s chapter is entitled “Logical and Taxonomic Languages” and deals with such languages as Loglan, Lojban, Ro, and Babm, which are complex and difficult to learn and use, but are of considerable theoretical interest.
