Standard language (ideal language)

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz raved about a unified language as an artificial ideal language which should connect humanity with one another. According to his theory, the standard language is an optimal thinking instrument and serves the ideals of the Enlightenment . (see: universal language )

In modern philosophy of language , Gottlob Frege , Bertrand Russell and Rudolf Carnap in particular worked on concepts for an ideal language in the sciences.

Other ideal languages, which understand themselves as standard languages, but only as means of communication, are planned languages .
