Abstract
The article investigates the main motives for constructing artificial language systems. The author examines the issue using such methods as description, analysis and synthesis of information. The result of the study is an analytical review of the key motives for the design of constructed languages. The author comes to the conclusion that studying language construction makes it possible to take a holistic approach to the study of natural language as a phenomenon.
