| dbo:abstract |
The Languages of Pao is a science fiction novel by American writer Jack Vance, first published in 1958, based on the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, which asserts that a language's structure and grammar construct the perception and consciousness of its speakers. In the novel, the placid people from the planet Pao rely on other planets for technological innovations and manufactured goods and they do not resist when an invading force occupies the land and levies heavy taxes. To expel the aggressors and make the planet more independent, three new languages are introduced. A scientific language induces its speakers to innovate more; a well-ordered language encourages its speakers to be industrious; and a warlike language induces competitiveness and aggression. The new languages change the culture and Pao ousts their overlords and develops a sophisticated modern economy. A shorter version was published in Satellite Science Fiction in late 1957. After the Avalon Books hardcover appeared the next year, it was reprinted in paperback by Ace Books in 1966 and reissued in 1968 and 1974. Additional hardcover and paperback reprints have followed, as well as British, French and Italian editions.

È uno dei suoi primi romanzi; non è considerato uno dei suoi migliori e in effetti presenta ancora una certa approssimazione nella trama e nel delineare i caratteri dei personaggi, tuttavia già presenta in nuce quelle che sono le caratteristiche della sua prosa: grande fantasia nel creare ambienti alieni e un protagonista che deve combattere per la far trionfare la giustizia. In questo romanzo si ipotizza che il comportamento umano possa essere influenzato dal linguaggio. (it) De talen van Pao is een boek in het sciencefictiongenre, geschreven door Jack Vance.
