""The Development of Leibniz"'s Considerations in John Yench"'s Project
Abstract
The purpose of the article is to present John Yenchâs a priori language as a continuation of Leibnizâs idea. Before I proceed to show the project of the Inter-Disciplinary International Reference Language, I would like to discuss the development of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnizâs view on artificial languages. I will try to show the evolution of Leibnizâs universal language: from its ideal conception to a tool which formalizes the whole of human knowledge. Also, I will show Leibnizâs influence on further ideas of artificial language. I will compare his projects with Yenchâs language â Idirl. An analysis of Idirlâs main assumptions will be useful to show the degree of continuation of Leibnizâs ideas in the a priori language of John Yench
