Current Issue

The editors and publishers of Speculative Grammarian are proud to announce that the Antepenultimate^† Issue of our esteemed journal is now available. This issue offers many excellent articles, including the fascinatingly insightful palæominutes from a palæomeeting of a palæolinguistic palæosociety; some moderately useful advice on how to beat annoying pedants at their own game (rather than with a stick); some extremely out-of-date advice on how to write for your favorite satirical linguistics journal; and a newly discovered Historico-Linguo-Sherlockian tale, taking place in India in 1886—along with the usual collection of letters from our readers, limericks, minute.DU mystery.PL stories, serendipitous fieldwork, linguistickish puzzles, endnotes, and more...

^† This issue is 94.7% likely to be the actual Antepenultimate Issue. The previous issue was identified as such due to an off-by-one error committed by one or more accounting interns. Remedial flogging has been applied.

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, 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
