Voynich manuscript and Codex Rohonczi have been known for decades or even centuries as previously not decrypted books with unknown content. The CusyA corpus is a collection of works in an unknown script and in an unknown language.Due to the shapes of the glyphs, the script is called Cusy (cubic-symmetrical), the language CusyA, as a precautionary measure, should further documents with the same characters, but with other words, appear in the future. The authors of this book were given the texts because they have already dealt with xenolinguistics, quantitative text analysis and statistical cryptology of texts in other books of the series Abstract Literature. Accordingly, statistical data of a quantitative text analysis are published together with the texts in order to help with the further decoding of the actual contents. This book presents the results of the statistical analysis of the corpus, characteristics of quantitative linguistics are listed in tables and presented graphically. First edition: 2023-12-01 (the analysis was previously integrated in the collections) [more]

Adapted from a larger work,"Speaking In Tongues, Louisiana's Colonial French, Creole & Cajun Languages Tell Their Story" reveals Louisiana's remarkable Old World French & metis language traditions which continue to enchant America and scholars in all the world! But, along with the fame Cajunization has brought the State, historical distortion and misinformation fostered by mass-marketing and media conditioning myopia have suppressed and misrepresented Louisiana's historic French languages, cultural history and people as if uniquely Acadian in origin. But, Louisiana's diverse multi-ethnic French languages, cultural traditions and people existed long before the arrival of the Acadians, who themselves were to become its beneficiaries! Author-scholars John laFleur & Brian Costello, native-speakers respectively of Louisiana's Colonial Creole French & her sister tongue of Louisiana Afro-Creole with Dr. Ina Fandrich, provide a non-commercially scripted, first-time study of both the history and ethnological origins of Louisiana's diverse French-speaking peoples of the French Triangle and present the unvarnished results of their investigation, experience along with the evidence of modern and historical scholarship as seen through the franco and creolophonic traditions of Louisiana. A must read for all Louisiana cultural and linguistic afficionados! [more]

The indescribable, fantastic narrative Ic fits into the broad field of abstract art. It is one of the most comprehensive works in the field of abstract literature. Abstract art is established in painting. There are also recurrent points of contact with abstract literature, for example when artificial languages are created such as Esperanto, Volapük, Interlingua, Novial, Occidental, Ido, Solresol, Toki Pona. Onomatopoeia or echoism is also an established approach. Perhaps even the basis of language itself is based on an original imitation of sound events in order to communicate with the group or clan, to point out certain important facts to them. Similarly fundamental might be sound sequences such as 'lalala', 'u-u-u', 'uh u uh u uuo u', 'da da da' or 'doo wop a doo wop, shoopi doobi doo wop' and so on in songs. Abstraction in language or, in the case of onomatopoeia, abstraction for language formation is thus by no means as far removed from us as it may at first seem from everyday life. Sound poetry has also been known for a long time, which can only use language in an abstract way, but is also used completely abstractly. There is certainly another association with the neologisms created by the German spelling reform at the turn of the millennium. Neologisms are also long used constructs of language, especially to take new facts into account. But also some works by Kurt Schwitters, Christian Morgenstern, Paul Scheerbart or Hugo Ball, generally from the Dadaist movement, come to mind, as do the language constructs of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, for example, which were followed by several other authors in order to endow fictitious civilisations in their books or films with their own languages. For example, the language Klingon, which has its origin in the film series Star Trek has become more well-known and popular. In comics in particular, sounds are also often depicted as onomatopoeic text. This fantastic work, which is completely written in a different language, ties in with these and some other models. In this work of fantasy, the emphasis is on complete abstraction, the actual narrative is thus created in an abstract, synthetic language. 1. Edition: 2020-04-01 2. Edition: 2021-03-01 [more]

Voynich manuscript and Codex Rohonczi have been known for decades or even centuries as previously not decrypted books with unknown content. For the first time, this collection makes further extensive works available with texts in an unknown language including unknown writing and font decryption. This is also done in digital form. In addition to the extensive works, there is also a smaller work about numbers and basic mathematical calculations. Due to the forms of the glyphs, the writing is called Cusy (cubic-symmetrical), the language CusyA, just in case, in the future further documents with the same characters may appear, using words in a different language. The content of the texts has not yet been deciphered, only the rough semantic structure of chapters, headings, paragraphs, verses, lines is known and accordingly transcribed in the publication. From the same source as the texts themselves the so far decoded grammar of CusyA is made available, rather a plausible hypothesis to it, whose extent lets assume that there are further works in CusyA, on the basis of which the grammar was decoded, which are not available however at present. CusyA surrounds many secrets. Origin and history are unknown, the script shows little similarity with writings from human history, the grammar is also special, but reflects typical language structures in a strongly formalised, regular form. The authors of this book were given the texts because they have already dealt with xenolinguistics, quantitative text analysis and statistical cryptology of texts in other books of the series Abstract Literature. Accordingly, statistical data of a quantitative text analysis are published together with the texts in order to help with the further decoding of the actual contents. The texts are supplemented with Abstract Art, whereby these graphics take up again the cubic Bézier curves of the glyphs, but without symmetry in order to loosen up the book graphically a little, also in order to offer a contrast to the text works as commentary. The graphics are thus also conceived in the sense of alienation effects to keep the critical view of the audience awake and to remain sceptical of one's own hypotheses when decoding the texts.
