Novial (("new") + ''IAL, International Auxiliary Language'' ) is a constructed international auxiliary language (IAL) for universal communication between speakers of different native languages. It was devised by Otto Jespersen, a Danish linguist who was previously involved in the Ido movement, and subsequently in the development of Interlingua. Its vocabulary is based largely on the Germanic and Romance languages and its grammar is influenced by English. Novial was first introduced in Jespersen's book ''An International Language'' in 1928.〔Jespersen, Otto (1928). (''An international language'' ). London: Allen & Unwin. LC no 29000603.〕 It was updated in his dictionary ''Novial Lexike'' in 1930,〔Jespersen, Otto (1930). (''Novial lexike, international dictionary, dictionnaire international, internationales Wörterbuch'' ). London: G. Allen & Unwin. LC no 31014004.〕 and further modifications were proposed in the 1930s, but the language became dormant with Jespersen's death in 1943.〔Ager, Simon. (Novial (Nov International Auxiliari Lingue) ). Retrieved from (omniglot.com ) on the 20th Dec. 2011〕 In the 1990s, with the revival of interest in constructed languages brought on by the Internet, some people rediscovered Novial.〔 == An international language == Novial was first described in Jespersen’s book ''An International Language'' (1928). Part One of the book discusses the need for an IAL, the disadvantages of ethnic languages for that purpose, and common objections to constructed IALs. He also provides a critical overview of the history of constructed IALs with sections devoted to Volapük, Esperanto, Idiom Neutral, Ido, Latino sine Flexione and Occidental (Interlingue). The author makes it clear that he draws on a wealth of earlier work on the problem of a constructed IAL, not only the aforementioned IALs. Part Two of ''An International Language'' describes Novial in detail. Alternative possible solutions for problems in the phonology, orthography, grammar and vocabulary are considered. The choices made are explained by comparison with ethnic languages and previously constructed IALs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
