Current Issue

The editors and publishers of Speculative Grammarian are pleased to announce that another issue of our esteemed journal is now available.

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
