Synopsis

This book discusses the need for a common scientific language, the benefits of learning such a language, and how one might be introduced into our current framework. The author argues the superiority of a constructed international auxiliary language, advocating for simplicity, ease of learning, and maximum internationality of vocabulary. The author examines some of the constructed languages that have been proposed and finds them wanting for various reasons. The book concludes by proposing reforms to Esperanto, a constructed language, so that it can be a more effective international auxiliary language. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of constructed languages and in particular constructed international auxiliary languages.
