CONTEMPORARY INTERLINGUISTICS WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE OF 21-ST CENTURY RUSSIAN LINGUISTIC STUDIES

Abstract

The article examines interlinguistics as an independent branch of particular linguistics, developing within the Russian linguistic tradition and integrating both theoretical and applied approaches. Key concepts are clarified and terminology is systematized, distinguishing between artificial, planned, logical and auxiliary languages. The study outlines the historical foundations of interlinguistics in Russia and highlights the contributions of national scholars. Building on René de Saussure’s concept, originally formulated through Esperanto and tested on natural languages, the paper also analyzes Loglan as an early logical language applied in artificial intelligence research. In the applied dimension, it presents the development of the interactive self-learning system SolReSol, based on the a priori language Solresol, enabling experiments in semantics, artificial languages and AI. The research introduces an original AI model for analyzing over 2,500 world languages to identify linguistic universals and construct a neutral universal auxiliary language, positioning interlinguistics as a dynamic field within modern Russian linguistics.
