Editing Interlingua (section)

===Finalization===
The German-American Gode and the French Martinet did not get along.{{sfn|Gopsill|1990|p=103}} Martinet resigned and took up a position at [[Columbia University]] in 1948, and Gode took on the last phase of Interlingua's development.{{sfn|Bray|1971|loc=Foreword}} His task was to combine elements of Model M and Model P; take the flaws seen in both by the polled community and repair them with elements of Model C as needed; and develop a vocabulary.  Alice Vanderbilt Morris died in 1950, and the funding that had sustained IALA ceased, but sufficient funds remained to publish a dictionary and grammar.{{sfn|Gopsill|1990|p=103}} The vocabulary and grammar of Interlingua were first presented in 1951, when IALA published the finalized ''[[Interlingua: A Grammar of the International Language|Interlingua Grammar]]'' and the [[Interlingua–English Dictionary]] (IED). In 1954, IALA published an introductory manual entitled ''[[Interlingua a Prime Vista]]'' ("Interlingua at First Sight").

Interlingua as presented by the IALA is very close to [[Latino sine flexione|Peano's Interlingua]] (Latino sine flexione), both in its grammar and especially in its vocabulary. A distinct abbreviation was adopted: IA instead of IL.
