ABSTRACT
IF I were writing the history of the Interlanguage movement,I I should deal first with the great theorists, who have espoused and advocated the idea as such-Descartes, Comenius, Leibniz, Schuchardt, Ostwald-and then with those who have made contributions to the practical solution of the question, among whom I should give prominence to Pirro, Schleyer, Zamenhof, Couturat, Rosenberger and de Wahl. But here I am more concerned with the future than with the past, and shall therefore content myself with the briefest mention of those facts from which I think a conclusion can be drawn that may assist us in paving the way for a future adoption of a rational interlanguage.
