Explanation
A deliberately designed language system created for international communication, art, experiment or formal purposes. Makes grammatical choices visible that seem self-evident in natural languages and turns language design into an experiment in thought.
Example
Esperanto marks word classes with regular endings, making categories audible.
Counterexample
A mere label without the described formal, cultural or conceptual movement.
Distinction
Distinguish from Plansprache; the neighbour remains connected as a crossway.
Effect on thought and perception
Makes grammatical choices visible that seem self-evident in natural languages and turns language design into an experiment in thought.
Resonance
Makes grammatical choices visible that seem self-evident in natural languages and turns language design into an experiment in thought.
