Thoughts on Interlinguistics and Logic

The event will take place via Zoom on 

Friday January 12, 2024

Interlinguistics, the discipline focused on international auxiliary languag
es, shares a compelling connection with modern logic, a connection that may
 be traced back to the pioneering work of Leibniz, considered by many as th
e forefather of modern logic, but who also worked on intercultural exchange
 and had also plans for a spoken artificial language. But in any case it is
 historically clear that several notable logicians were also interlinguists
, exemplified by figures like Peano and Carnap. Their work demonstrated a u
nique intersection of these fields, blending the precision and clarity requ
ired in logical systems with the universality and accessibility aimed for i
n interlinguistic endeavours.

Peano, for instance, contributed significantly to the development of formal
 logical notation, while also engaging in the creation of an international 
auxiliary language, Latino sine Flexione, which was a simplified form of La
tin. Similarly, Carnap, a key figure in the Vienna Circle, explored the log
ical analysis of language and was an Esperantist.

Considering these historical intersections, there should be more discourse 
about the relevance and potential benefits of revisiting this old connectio
n. This exploration invites historians, logicians, and interlinguists to de
lve into how the principles of logic can inform the development of auxiliar
y languages, and conversely, how the goals of interlinguistics can influenc
e the study and application of logic. This interdisciplinary dialogue promi
ses to enrich both fields, offering new insights into the structure and fun
ction of language in logical reasoning and international communication.
