As a starting point, I would urge you to read section 5 of the 
customization manual (Help > Customization). You'll need to create a 
layout file for the new class (in this case, "langscibook.cls"). The 
recommended approach is usually to find a LaTeX class similar to the new 
one for which LyX has a layout file, then use that file as a guide when 
creating your own layout file. I'm inclined to describe the process as 
"not for the faint of heart", but it is doable (and has been done in the 
past).
