摘要

许多非语言学家认为，他们至少会说一种语言的能力，为他们了解语言的本质及其历史提供了特殊的视角。这种信念的一个结果是，从令人惊讶的不同角度产生了大量关于语言的理论:特定语言(或所有语言)的起源，哪些语言与共同的历史有关，如何阅读未破译的作品或伪作品，语言如何在超自然现象中被视为转世和通灵实体的“证据”，等等。这篇综述调查了一些关于语言的边缘和疯狂主张盛行的主要领域。在一篇文章的有限篇幅内，只能涵盖几个主题和例子，但我们希望，这些应该足以说明各种奇妙古怪的伪语言学概念。

Fantastic Linguistics

Many nonlinguists believe that their ability to speak at least one language provides special insight into the essence of languages and their histories. One result of this belief is a plethora of theories about language from a surprising variety of perspectives: where particular languages (or all languages) originated, which languages are related by a shared history, how undeciphered writings or pseudowritings are to be read, how language figures in paranormal claims as “evidence” for reincarnation and channeled entities, and much, much more. This review surveys some of the major areas in which fringe and crackpot claims about language thrive. Only a few topics and examples can be covered in the limited space of a single article, but these should be enough, we hope, to suggest the range of wonderfully wacky pseudolinguistic notions out there.
