International Language and Scienceconsiderations on the Introduction of an International Language into Science
Leopold Pfaundler von Hadermur
1910
Translated by F. G. (Frederick George) Donnan
A scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book presents a discussion on the necessity of an international auxiliary language in the field of science, reflecting on past attempts like Volapük and Esperanto, while proposing the development of a new language based on scientific principles. The authors aim to analyze the current linguistic situation in scientific literature and advocate for the adoption of a common language to facilitate global communication among scientists. The opening of this work introduces the pressing need for a unified scientific language, emphasizing the inefficiencies caused by the multitude of languages currently in use. It discusses how Latin once served as a common scholarly language, but has since lost its prominence to several modern languages, creating barriers to communication in the scientific community. The text critiques previous artificial languages and sets the stage for a serious exploration of a new international language, highlighting the authors’ collective resolve to initiate discussions that could lead to the establishment of a practical solution for global scientific discourse.
