Public presentation on the creative and professional sides of constructing languages with David and Jessie Peterson, professional conlangers who have created languages for TV shows and films including Dune: Part Two, Pixar’s Elemental, Netflix’s Shadow and Bone, Peacock’s Vampire Academy, and more. Dr. Peterson has a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Colorado at Boulder and was a professor of linguistics at Stephen F. Austin State University for 13 years, where she created a conlanging course and taught students how to construct a language from the ground up. She now works full-time with her partner and husband, David J. Peterson, author of The Art of Language Invention and creator of Dothraki and Valyrian for HBO’s Game of Thrones, as well as other languages. They also host a weekly livestream, LangTime Studio on YouTube, where they create new languages from scratch and share the process.
