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.

The problems of international communication and linguistic rights are recurring debates in the present-day age of globalization. But the debate truly began over a hundred years ago, when the ...increasingly interconnected world of the nineteenth century fostered a desire for the development of a global lingua franca. Many individuals and social movements competed to create an artificial language unencumbered by the political rivalries that accompanied English, German, and French. Organizations including the American Philosophical Society, the International Association of Academies, the International Peace Bureau, the Comintern, and the League of Nations intervened in the debate about the possibility of an artificial language, but of the numerous tongues created before World War II, only Esperanto survives today.
Esperanto and Its Rivalssheds light on the factors that led almost all artificial languages to fail and helped English to prevail as the global tongue of the twenty-first century. Exploring the social and political contexts of the three most prominent artificial languages-Volapük, Esperanto, and Ido-Roberto Garvía examines the roles played by social movement leaders and inventors, the strategies different organizations used to lobby for each language, and other early decisions that shaped how those languages spread and evolved. Through the rise and fall of these artificial languages,Esperanto and Its Rivalsreveals the intellectual dilemmas and political anxieties that troubled the globalizing world at the turn of the twentieth century.
Lazar Ludwik Zamenhof’s poem Ho, mia kor’ (1887), considered the first text ever published in Esperanto, indubitably echoes the themes and emotional climate of Archilochus’ fragment 128 W2. On the ...other hand, it presents linguistic traces of a re-elaboration, also from a semantic perspective, of the translation of the well-known Shakespearean monologue To be or not to be, on which Zamehof was working while composing his poem.
Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Daŭro: 27 min.- Enkonduka prelego de la kongresa temo "Paco kaj konfido: universalaj valoroj". Javier Alcalde reportas nin en sia ...kontribuaĵo al niaj radikoj: interkompreniĝo inter homoj cele al paco inter popoloj. La tre firmaj ligoj inter la naskiĝanta pacmovado kaj la naskiĝanta Esperanto-movado estos skizataj kune kun iliaj evoluoj tra la ĉefaj historiaj eventoj de la pasinta jarcento. Kio pri la nuntempo? Eblas argumenti, ke Esperanto esprimas sin en la formo de emfazo pri lingva justeco ene de la reganta paradigmo de pacifismo, nome pozitiva paco. Tiel la Esperanto-movado konservas la zamenhofan idealon kaj adaptas ĝin al la nuna tempo. Tiu prezento estis pretigita okaze de la 2-a Virtuala Kongreso de Esperanto (VK), okazinta en julio 2021.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
