The International Language Esperanto a Course Ĉi Tiu Kurso Estis Adaptita El La Iama 10-Leciona Esperanto-Kurso Aǔ Free Esperanto Course
The International Language Esperanto A Course Ĉi tiu kurso estis adaptita el la iama 10-leciona Esperanto-kurso aǔ Free Esperanto Course. La materialo estis rearanĝata, por ke ĝi funkciu kaj rete kaj por poŝta, papera koresponda kurso kaj kiel kurso-libro en ĉeestaj kursoj. Grafike ĝin prilaboris Nino Vessella, Harnyos Ferenc kaj João Vicente. Kunordigis Renato Corsetti. Introduction WHAT IS ESPERANTO? Esperanto, the international language, is a language developed to make it easier for people of different cultures to communicate. Its author, Dr. L. L. Zamenhof (1859-1917), published his "Lingvo Internacia" in 1887 under the pseudonym "Dr. Esperanto". It is now spoken by at least two million people, in over 100 countries. There are thousands of books and over 100 periodicals published currently. But what makes it any more international than French, English or Russian? Incorrectly termed ’artificial’ (the right word is ’planned’), Esperanto is specifically intended for international/intercultural use, so those who use it meet each other on an equal footing, since neither is using his or her native language. With national languages, the average person isn’t able to express himself as well as a native speaker or the gifted linguist. Thanks to its simple, logical, regular design, anyone can learn Esperanto fairly rapidly. A LIVING LANGUAGE Esperanto is a living language, used for everything people use any other language for. But it’s much easier to learn than a national language. Even people who can’t remember a word of a language they studied for years in high school or college need only months of intensive study to become fluent in Esperanto. -
TEKA: a Transnational Network of Esperanto-Speaking Physicians Marcel Koschek University of St Andrews [email protected]
Hungarian Historical Review 10, no. 2 (2021): 243–266 TEKA: A Transnational Network of Esperanto-Speaking Physicians Marcel Koschek University of St Andrews [email protected] The Tutmonda Esperanta Kuracista Asocio (Worldwide Esperanto Medical Association, TEKA) was founded in 1908 at the Fourth International Esperanto Congress in Dresden and was the international medical association of the Esperanto movement. The aim was to “facilitate practical relations between Esperanto-speaking doctors of all countries.” The interest within the Esperanto movement was immense: after one year, TEKA had more than 400 members all over the world with a focus on Europe; one year later, there were more than 600 members with official representatives in about 100 cities. In Europe, a medical press in Esperanto had already been established. The approach of these journals was both simple and brilliant: the doctors presented the latest medical findings from their home countries in a peer review system and critically examined the articles in their vernacular. This made each issue a compendium of the most important and pioneering findings of national research. The numerous experts also had many other connections with, for example, the Red Cross and similar organizations. Thus, after a short period of time, TEKA brought together the expertise of countless physicians. This paper examines TEKA as a transnational network of experts before World War I. The history of the association and the role of Medicine within the Esperanto movement are briefly discussed. The focus is then on the various association journals and the circulation of knowledge. Finally, the essay offers a look at TEKA’s cooperative endeavors with the Red Cross. -

Creative Strategies to Approach Multiculturalism in Esperanto
159 Język. Komunikacja. Informacja Ilona Koutny, Ida Stria (red./ed.) 13/2018: 159–174 MANUELA BURGHELEA On Not Being Lost in Translation: Creative Strategies to Approach Multiculturalism in Esperanto Abstrakt (Jak nie zaginąć w przekładzie: twórcze strategie podejścia do wielokulturowo- ści w esperancie). W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano praktyki przekładu na esperanto, język skonstruowany, który liczy już 130 lat i który ma służyć neutralnej komunikacji między- narodowej. Jednym z praktycznych zastosowań tego pomocniczego języka jest udostępnienie ogólnoświatowej społeczności mówców dzieł z całego świata i z różnych epok. Analizowana jest rola odgrywana przez tłumaczenie w rozwoju esperanta oraz w tworzeniu społeczności esperanckiej. Autorka dowodzi, że tłumaczenie na esperanto spełnia kluczową funkcję społeczną i przekazuje wartości wykraczające poza zwykły transfer semantyki. Czyniąc to, stosuje interdyscyplinarną perspektywę i wykorzystuje podejścia z badań translacyjnych, językoznawstwa, antropologii i badań komunikacji międzykulturowej. Umieszczenie tych podejść w dialogu jest korzystne dla lepszego zrozumienia różnych strategii stosowanych przez tłumaczy esperanckich w celu uwzględnienia i zrozumienia esperanckiego horyzon- tu kulturowego. Abstract. This article examines translation practices into Esperanto, a constructed language with 130 years of existence and which is meant to serve neutral international communication. As such, one of Esperanto’s practical applications is to render works from around the world and from different times accessible to a worldwide community of speakers. We analyse the role played by translation in the development of Esperanto and in the creation of an Espe- ranto community. We argue that translation into Esperanto possesses a key social function and conveys values that go beyond the mere transfer of semantics. In doing so, we apply an interdisciplinary perspective and draw on approaches from translation studies, linguistics, anthropology and intercultural communication studies. -

CD Interlinguistics and Esperanto Studies
1 Published in: “Language Problems & Language Planning”, LPLP (Amsterdam: Benjamins) 28(2003)2. Interlinguistics and Esperanto studies Paths to the scholarly literature Detlev Blanke Humboldt University Berlin A significant number of publications on interlinguistics and Esperanto studies would be improved if their authors had a more thorough knowledge of the significant scholarly literature. However, it is often difficult even for the specialist to find his or her way among current and older scholarly studies dealing with various aspects of planned languages ([“artificial”] world [auxiliary] languages). The current study is intended to facilitate access to the scholarly literature by drawing the reader’s attention to the myriad sources of material worthy of use by the researcher. Particularly included, in addition to monographs, are such sources as anthologies, Festschriften, conference proceedings, university dissertations, and planned-language periodicals both current and older. Especially valuable for up-to-date information are general and specialized interlinguistics bibliographies, bibliographically oriented bulletins, and periodically published international bibliographies with sections on interlinguistics. Yielding most information is the bibliography on modern languages and literatures published by the Modern Language Association (MLA) in New York, which registers the newest materials annually. Specialized libraries, more and more easily consulted on-line, provide large quantities of materials worthy of research. The Internet is playing a growing role in making literature in the field available. Scholarly literature in interlinguistics and Esperanto studies is steadily growing. Finding one’s way around it is increasingly difficult even for experienced researchers, especially if the goal is a literature search on specific problems. For those new to the field, the situation is particularly complicated if the goal is to produce something original. -

The Essential Scholarly Literature in Interlinguistics and Esperantology
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems 13(2), 200-215, 2015 HOW NOT TO REINVENT THE WHEEL … THE ESSENTIAL SCHOLARLY LITERATURE IN INTERLINGUISTICS AND ESPERANTOLOGY Detlev Blanke* Gesellschaft für Interlinguistik Berlin, Germany DOI: 10.7906/indecs.13.2.2 Received: 18 June 2014. Regular article Accepted: 26 June 2014. ABSTRACT Studies of interlinguistics written in ethnic languages – particularly research on planned languages – are often insufficiently grounded in the essential scholarly literature. English-language studies frequently fail to consider scholarly literature in German, Russian, French, and other languages. An important part of this specialized literature is written in planned languages (particularly Esperanto) and all too frequently remains unknown. For lack of knowledge of actual planned-language praxis, misunderstandings arise, for example on the relations between a language and a language project, a language and a language community, language and culture, expressibility in planned languages, and so on. For scientifically valid studies, specialized materials written in planned languages (approximately 95 % of them in Esperanto) are essential. This article provides an overview of the principal accessible sources of scholarly literature on interlinguistics and Esperantology and, inter alia, gives information on specialized libraries and archives, bibliographies, major monographs, anthologies, conferences and conference proceedings, university studies and dissertations, periodicals, internet materials, and handbooks -
