What is the role of language in science?
In order to publish a research paper in top journals you should have in depth knowledge of English in addition to research content. This is a major problem for researchers whose first language is not English. It does not matter what you invent, you can not publish it till you present it in a format suitable for journals. Although research is fun, writing and publishing papers is a big tension particularly for those who are not well trained in English. Most of us think in our native language then translate in English. In addition, you cannot describe your research in an informal way, no journal will publish. In simple words we waste lot of time on writing of papers in order to publish. I feel due to the present system we are spending a lot of time on writing rather than on research. I wish to know views of other colleagues on scientific writing.
Any language is always a jail that prevents from communicating with those people using another one. English is a very very wide jail, and consequently you hardly can see its walls.
The advantages of speaking a widely used language, like English, are obvious. This is why occidental world progress has been developed together with some language widely used in all countries. First was Greek and Latin, in middle age Arabic and Latin, finally English. In my opinion, the most rational method would be the use of an artificial language, similar to Esperanto, created by a convention of scientific world, and being simple, syntax-free and regular, that is to say, without any exception, and consequently easy to learn.
Unfortunately, nationalistic feeling could prevent from accepting any universal language. Nevertheless, from a pure rational view-point an artificial language invented under logical rules will be more efficient than natural languages which are the result of random evolution through history.
