interlinguistics
Cross-tongue communication studies
Interlinguistics is the study of international communication, particularly through constructed languages like Esperanto.
The field examines how languages are designed for cross-cultural understanding and how they function in practice.
Scholars in interlinguistics analyze the structure, use, and social aspects of planned languages: The conference on interlinguistics drew Esperanto speakers from thirty countries.
