Universal Language Movement

Universal Language Movement. Movement aiming to establish a single written language for scientific or philosophical purposes, important in England in the 17th century, especially in the first decade (1660– ) of the Royal Society, and in France and Europe generally from the 17th to the end of the 18th. The motives were different from those which inspired the later development of Esperanto and other international auxiliary languages.
