  • Esperanto : lingua franca and language community
    Fiedler, Sabine, 1957- ; Brosch, Cyril
    "This book addresses a fascinating topic - a constructed language that has turned from a project into a fully-fledged language used by some of its speakers on a daily basis. Based on extensive ... fieldwork, this book provides rare and profound insights into the use of Esperanto in a large number of communicative areas. It studies the speakers' use of code-switching, phraseology and metaphors, techniques they employ to enhance understanding, such as metacommunication and repair strategies, as well as their predilection for humour. The study also contributes to a comparison between the communication in Esperanto and in the language that is now predominantly used as a lingua franca - English - and allows conclusions to be drawn on the question of what a lingua franca is all about"
