“…It is visible that the type that is the farthest removed from what is usually understood as natural human language is computer/programming languages. The tables compiled in this section seem to confirm the assertions of Baron (1994), Lyons (1991) and Schubert (1989)…”

“…Lyons (1991), but most notably interlinguists such as Blanke (1985: 26ff. ), Koutny (2009), Sakaguchi (2003) and Schubert (1989) outdated and misleading. This tradition dates back to Aristotle, but was most visible in the 19th-century linguistics strongly influenced by Darwin.…”

“…Ni las lenguas naturales son tan naturales como pudiera parecer en un principio ni las lenguas artificiales son tan artificiales como a alguno le gustaría creer. A una visión antitética, absoluta, hay que contraponer un planteamiento gradual, de paso progresivo entre el prototipo de "lengua natural" y el prototipo de "lengua artificial" (Schubert 1989: 9-10):…”

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es considerar las relaciones que, sobre todo a partir de finales del siglo XIX, han mantenido la lingüística teórica y el empeño de crear lenguas artificiales, en especial aquellas destinadas a ser utilizadas como lenguas auxiliares en la esfera internacional. Para ello centramos nuestra atención en tres figuras destacadas de la lingüística del siglo XX: O. Jespersen, E. Sapir y A. Martinet. Su interés por las lenguas artificiales no hay que verlo como una mera curiosidad en su trayectoria intelectual, sino que es un reflejo directo de su propio pensamiento sobre el lenguaje y una forma de poner a prueba algunas de las ideas que lo sustentan.

“…This involves highlighting the fact that natural languages have unnatural (artificial) elements just as planned (artificial) languages have natural elements. Schubert (1989) If a planned language is preferred merely for reasons of "neutrality", then it seems obvious that the choice should fall on an a-priori language, having no connection with any known tongue, but rather serving as a brand-new vehicle of human thought (Pei 1958: 174). But the central function of an international auxiliary language is to serve as the medium of international communication.…”

Neutrality of International Languages

This paper focuses on the neutrality of international languages. First, a derivation of the concept of "neutral language" from "international communicative act" is provided; it is argued that an acceptable neutral language for international communication can only be an artificial language. Certain characterizations of consciously created languages are discussed. The paper distinguishes two types of neutrality: communicative neutrality and linguistic neutrality. All planned languages are communicatively neutral, but their linguistic neutrality varies, reflecting the diversity of language design principles. Given that absolute linguistic neutrality unattainable, it becomes reasonable to construct a language based on certain control languages plus linguistic universals. We introduce the term "deneutralization" to designate a process whereby a neutral language changes into an ordinary language. The paper also shows that Esperanto has not become deneutralized.
