Alexander Gottfried Friedrich Gode-von-Aesch or simply Alexander Gode (October 30, 1906 in Bremen - August 10, 1970 in Mount Kisco, New York) was a German-American linguist, translator and the driving force behind the creation of the constructed language Interlingua.
Gode became involved with the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA) from 1933 on, but at first his work there was of an irregular nature.
In 1953 IALA disbanded, but Gode would continue to be involved with Interlingua right up to his death by translating scientific and medical texts to Interlingua; for this he would win awards from the American Medical Writers Association and the International Federation of Translators.

 The Gode-Lapenna Debate
I am sure that Dr. Gode will agree that the problem is too complex to be dealt with by only two persons and that my proposal will not only serve to raise the level of the discussion but will also give to the entire matter the prestige which it requires.
With regard to the suggested debate between Dr. Gode and myself, I must confess that I never understood the matter as one according to which Dr. Gode and I would, as a consequence of the debate, agree that the areas of application of Interlingua and Esperanto are dissimilar and, consequently, not in competition.
Gode materializes as originally contemplated, I strongly feel that it would be to the distinct advantage of the international language movement and to the adherents of both Esperanto and Interlingua, if your letters, together with the letters of Dr. Gode and Mr.

Gode was, however, more inclined to stress that although the two schools had arrived at remarkably similar results, they had done so by rather different routes, Occidental never having completely abandoned conceptual absolutism achieved through logic.

 NEO-ROMANTICISM IN LANGUAGE PLANNING (Edo BERNASCONI)
Alexander Gode is right, and I have written this essay while trying to avoid the trap to which he alluded.
Gode understands very well the different conditions in the lives of Interlingua and Esperanto: Esperanto was first a project, and its history reflects the necessity of equipping it for a collective that speaks it.
Gode was seduced by Whorf's hypothesis: according to him the theses of the Esperantists, then, are wrong, because they reflect a belief in the existence of universal logical notions.

 Interlingua in Science
Gode usually furnished the translations, but the summaries in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association were prepared by its own staff.
In his lifetime, Alexander Gode published approximately a million words of Interlingua, but by the end of the 1960s there was very little demand for it.
When Gode died on August 10 of that year, it was for a while uncertain whether the Interlingua Institute would long survive him.

 The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Interlingua: A Universal Language?
Gode says that Interlingua is especially suited for the needs of scientists, and that scientific terms are basically the same in all languages.
In stating the case for Interlingua, Gode emphasizes that he does not believe the language will ever replace present natural languages, or that this is even desirable.
One of the best features of Interlingua according to Gode, is its simplicity to incorporate essential improvements in form through the "organic developments of usage." This bit of lgic, however, is also questionable.

By weight and length the book is about German romanticism, while in essence it is about the author's conviction that the way these people lived influenced theirvicwof nature, which in turn influenced Darwin's theory of evolution.
The bridge that the author seeks to construct between the German romantic philosophers and writers in Western mechanical philosophy is a serious project that looks deeply into the "German mind of the nineteenth century" (Hermann Glaser, The German Mind of the Nineteenth Century, 1981).
The connection between these two different habits of the mind is not new, but research on the topic remains rare, with the exception of the notable efforts by Alexander Gode-von-Aesch (Natural Sciences, 1941) and more recently Timothy Lenoir (The Strategy of Life.

While modern authors of Esperanto literature such as Claude Piron and William Auld have even been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature a number of times, there really isn't such a thing as 'Interlingua literature,' because the only real literature here is the very first Dictionary and Grammar by Alexander Gode.
We felt that an artificial, yet natural looking language such as Interlingua needed to be encouraged, and the Premio has distinct possibilities here.
