The subject of Language has become, in schools and universities, in a mixtureof techniques belonging to the artificial languages, with ideas and concepts comingfrom the old traditional grammar. This has turned into an incomprehensiblechaos, and it is didactically harmful because it only leads to confusion amongother things.Artificial languages are certainly very important and their teaching cannot beforgotten, but we must bear in mind that artificial languages have nothing to dowith the natural languages we use in our daily life and which let us engage in intellectualcreation, a fact that cannot be overlooked. Courses of artificial languagesare fine, but never at the expense of eliminating the study of real languages andtheir historical and present products.
