abstract
  • Kalusa is a collaborative and corpus-driven, unplanned constructed language. The project was created by retired video game programmer Gary Shannon, and launched online in May 2006. It is most notable for its distributed, anonymous contribution process. The definitive source of the language is a corpus of Kalusa to English translations. The only way to contribute to the language was to add to this corpus anonymously. This took place on a web interface hosted by Shannon. Due to social tensions the project was abandoned by September 2006, but not before spawning over 4,200 corpus sentences, 1,300 contributor comments, and 200 mailing list messages.
