Since Tolkien, it's normal to create imaginary worlds, imaginary people, cultures and imaginary languages. Conlangs exists in hundreds and thousands. My languages are no exceptions, but my directions and analysis tools are different:


 * The conlang Thrilettrabbrian and its codeveloped conlang Atlalpi,
 * Wikipedia user:Rursus (central point where to contact me).

Philosophy
Language is a set of operations painting images, the knowledge representation is not the same thing as the language, when people understand language they don't understand the sentences said, they understand the image. When informing the receiver and sender has negotiated a information sending transaction, where the sender is allowed to draw an image "in the receivers mind". The sentences of speach are operations that stepwise draw the image. The sentences are not required to come into a certain order to be understood, but it is generally desired that they are compressed and following certain conventional schema (grammar) of the language, in order to be effective. So according to my thinking the dichotomy between "surface structure" and "deep structure" is a real phenomenon in the minds of the speakers, not just a methological artefact from "the errors of the ways of computer linguists".
