Speculative Grammarian (often referred to as SpecGram) is the self-described "premier scholarly journal featuring research in the neglected field of satirical linguistics".

One of the conceits of the journal is that it has existed in one form or another, and has wielded great influence in world events, for hundreds of years (including implications of competing with the Illuminati).

However, the "Letter from the Managing Editor" for that issue makes it clear that, despite the assumption of a long previous history, SpecGram is a continuation of the previously titled Journal of the Linguistic Society of South-Central New Caledonia (the last issue of which was sub-titled Langue du Monde).

[8] The journal has republished a number of satirical linguistics works, some of which are available elsewhere on the Internet, some previously not, to bring them to a wider audience.

[9] Over the course of 2006, the journal converted an older satirical linguistics anthology, Lingua Pranca (1978), to an electronic format,[10] so that it would be available to a wider audience.

[12] Lingua Pranca includes humorous pieces by several linguists who, 30 years later, had gone on to become well known in the field, including Bernard Comrie, Elan Dresher, Norbert Hornstein, D. Terence Langendoen, James D. McCawley, Ken Miner, Robert L. Rankin, and Leonard Talmy.
