In 1647, in <em>A Common Writing<\/em><em>,<\/em> he implemented a suggestion for a universal \u2018character\u2019 made by Francis Bacon (1605). He invented a symbol system representing ideas or concepts, which could be realized in any language. In 1652 in his book entitled <em>The Ground-Work or Foundation Laid \u2026 for the Framing of a New Perfect Language<\/em>, he produced a second, more sophisticated system. In the second system he proposed the establishment of conceptual classes to which \u2018radical\u2019 symbols were assigned, with regular diacritics denoting subclasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lodowyck\u2019s third publication was a proposal for a phonetic alphabet in which related sounds were denoted by related symbols.
