ATLAS OF LANGUAGE

AT-CORE-244-001 · ATLAS 251

Planned language

A deliberately designed language whose sounds, grammar, and vocabulary are planned according to particular communicative or cultural aims.

Explanation

A deliberately designed language whose sounds, grammar, and vocabulary are planned according to particular communicative or cultural aims. It turns linguistic order into design and exposes the assumptions about simplicity, fairness, or expressiveness built into a system.

Example

Esperanto combines regular word formation and international roots into a planned contact language.

Counterexample

Merely mentioning “Planned language” without the described function is not a sufficient example.

Distinction

Artificial language is the broader category; a planned language pursues an explicitly developed linguistic project.

Effect on thought and perception

It turns linguistic order into design and exposes the assumptions about simplicity, fairness, or expressiveness built into a system.

Resonance

In the atlas, Planned language closes 1 previously unresolved reference line(s) and opens controlled paths of thought.

Etymology

Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
