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.

Une exploratrice terrienne découvre OMAOOG-deemw, une planète d’un autre système solaire. Elle se confronte à la civilisation MNRVWX, et apprend à connaître ce peuple non-binaire qui communique par ondes.
Ce roman composé de textes indépendants explore les possibilités de vie alternatives par le biais de la science fiction, tant au niveau du genre que du point de vue d'autre formes d'échanges entre "humains" et entre espèces.
Chaque texte a donné lieu à une performance, ou incursion dans le réel, au fil de l'année que j'ai passée à les écrire.
