- Description
- A priori artificial languages are attempts to build languages from scratch, unlike artificial languages such as Esperanto, which are largely or entirely built from items in natural languages (the latter type of languages are known as a posteriori languages). Artificial languages are languages which have been consciously created, as opposed to natural languages such as Turkish and English. Although artificial languages have been created for various purposes (e.g. in connection with a work of fiction), this paper will be limited to those created as auxiliary languages, that is, languages designed to aid international communication. It will also be limited to languages created in the 19th or 20th centuries (although there are much older a priori languages). The vocabularies of a priori languages are often or usually built on the principle that words with similar meanings should have similar forms. By looking at the word ‘woman’ in such languages, one might learn something about what their designers felt about the concept of ‘woman’, and its relations to other concepts, such as ‘man’. The languages examined in this paper will include aUI, Babm, Lingualumina, Ro, Sona, and Suma.
