“On an international auxiliary language” 111 years later

Summary/Abstract: In 1908, Jan Niecisław Baudouin de Courtenay gave a public lecture entitled “O języku pomocniczym międzynarodowym” (‘On an international auxiliary language’), in which he focused on artificial languages. This paper aims to analyse the ideas presented in Baudouin de Courtenay’s lecture and verify to what extent the great linguist’s views are still valid in the light not only of current linguistic knowledge, but also in terms of the actual development of the languages he described.
