What is astrolinguistics?

Astrolinguistics comes from bringing together linguistics and astrophysics. The initial idea is as follows: if words follow the same laws as physical bodies, then their movement is similar to the planets and stars in space-time.

How does it work?

Astrolinguistics shows that words are more or less massive and that this forms the basis of a syntactic structure. The less massive words orbit the more massive words, like satellites orbiting the planets, which in turn orbit the stars.

For more details, have a look at the Theory section.

What does it mean in practice?

In practical terms, you can draw the orbits of words and produce animations or astrolinguistic maps. It's a way of thinking about or dreaming about the movement of words: by following their trajectory, we understand that a sentence is just a moment when the words are aligned together in linguistic space-time.

A few words from Rimbaud across time and space

The Rimboxing Club shows that words behave like bodies: they follow the same physical laws. This is called astrolinguistics.

Whereas grammar only accepts a limited number of word alignments, astrolinguistics shows the full range of possibilities.
