Paperback. GENERALIINTRODUCTORYIn dealing with the problem of the introduction of an international lan-guage, we are met on the threshold by two main questions: 1. The question of principle.2. The question of practice.By the question of principle is meant, Is it desirable to have a universal lan-guage? do we wish for one? in short, is there a demand?The question of practice includes the inquiries, Is such a language possible?is it easy? would its introduction be fraught with prohibitive difficulties?and the like.It is clear that, however possible or easy it may be to do a thing, there isno case for doing it unless it is wanted; therefore the question of principle3 WALTER JOHN CLARKmust be taken first. In the case before us the question of principle involvesmany considerations-aesthetic, political, social, even religious. These will beglanced at in their proper place; but for our present purpose they are all sub-ordinate to the one great paramount consideration-the economic one. Inthe world of affairs experience shows that, given a demand of any kind what-ever, as between an economical method of supplying that demand and anon-economical method, in the long run the economical method will surelyprevail.If, then, it can be shown that there is a growing need for means of interna-tional communication, and that a unilingual solution is more economicalthan a multilingual one, there is good ground for thinking that the unilin-gual method of transacting international affairs will surely prevail. It thenbecomes a question of time and method: When will men feel the pressure ofthe demand sufficiently strongly to set about supplying it? and what meanswill they adopt?The time and the method are by no means indifferent. Though a demand(for what is possible) is sure, in the long run, to get itself supplied, a long pe-riod of wasteful and needless groping may be avoided by a clear-sighted andtimely realization of the demand, and by consequent organized co-operationin supplying it. Intelligent anticipation sometimes helps events to occur. Itis the object of this book to call attention to the present state of affairs, andto emphasize the fact that the time is now ripe for dealing with the ques-tion, and the present moment propitious for solving the problem once forall in an orderly way. The merest glance at the list of projects for a universallanguage[1] and their dates will strengthen the conviction from an historicalpoint of view that the fulness of time is accomplished, while This compelling study explores whether a single, unified tongue can bridge global divides and argues that economic necessity makes the adoption of a universal language an inevitable evolution for humanity.
