An ideal language type

Ideal language is the type of natural language that can be characterised as precise and free of ambiguity. [1, 47] The concept was developed by the philosophers of the 20th century to contrast ordinary language theory to promote the idea of a language that would be flawless for philosophising and would be devoid of natural flaws, ambiguities and inaccuracy. The most prominent followers of this movement were Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein. [2, 224-253]
