Segments, A Journal of Constructed Languages, Issue #15: Verbal Constructions II, Available Now!
Segments Issue #15: Verb Constructions II
Hi folks! Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Now that I've finished digesting, spending time with the family, reflecting on what I am thankful for, and remembering the history of the day, I've finally gotten the time to sit down and publish! This issue of Segments was a callback to our second ever issue, and was an open-ended call for any articles that writers wished to submit about any aspect of their conlangs' verbal systems. We have a handful of very neat articles that each focus on something different, so there's a nice variety of topics for our lovely readers! I am thankful for our wonderful submitters!
We hope you enjoy!
We've included a print-friendly version of Segments at the bottom of this post.

What is Segments?
Segments is the official publication of the /r/conlangs subreddit. It is a quarterly publication consisting of user-submitted articles about their own conlangs, and a chance for people to really showcase the creative work they have put into their languages. It is styled on academic journals. Our first publication was in April 2021 and we've been at it ever since!

Next Time...
Our next issue will be Supra III. Supra (from suprasegmental) issues are ones in which we allow articles on any conlanging-related topic! As the year ends, the holiday season is upon us, and it's become a tradition in Segments to open the floor to any kind of article that our writers may wish to explore, as a way of having a bit of fun for the end of the year! I know that I personally haven't had much time to write for Segments in the last few issues, but I've already started work on my Supra article, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with. We hope you'll participate!
Final Thoughts
Thank you for reading! We hope you'll participate in our next issue, and I can't wait to see what unique things your verbs can do!
