The language was included in her science fiction Native Tongue series. Láadan contains a number of words that are used to make unambiguous statements that include how one feels about what one is saying. According to Elgin, this is designed to counter language's limitations to those who are forced to respond I know I said that, but I meant this.

El uso de las cosas
Pablo Réol
El uso de las cosas – ou l’usage des choses en français – est une série de photographies prises par Pablo Réol à Mexico City entre 2010 et 2019. Il observe et nous montre la terrible beauté qu’il y a dans ces « choses » : réparations sommaires de carrosseries de voitures, affiches plastifiées au scotch, fixations faites avec des bouts de ficelles, décorations amateures ; ou encore un vendeur de rue revêtu d’un uniforme publicitaire.
Pablo Réol regarde comment l’homme s’approprie son environnement, imagine des solutions pratiques, détourne les fonctions assignées aux objets, aux corps et à l’espace public. En bref, des indices sur la vie dans une grande ville du XXIe siècle.
