  • The Esperantist Background of René De Saussure's Work
    Chapter 1 The Esperantist background of René de Saussure’s work Marc van Oostendorp Radboud University and The Meertens Institute ené de Saussure was arguably more an esperantist than a linguist – R somebody who was primarily inspired by his enthusiasm for the language of L. L. Zamenhof, and the hope he thought it presented for the world. His in- terest in general linguistics seems to have stemmed from his wish to show that the structure of Esperanto was better than that of its competitors, and thatit reflected the ways languages work in general. Saussure became involved in the Esperanto movement around 1906, appar- ently because his brother Ferdinand had asked him to participate in an inter- national Esperanto conference in Geneva; Ferdinand himself did not want to go because he did not want to become “compromised” (Künzli 2001). René be- came heavily involved in the movement, as an editor of the Internacia Scienca Re- vuo (International Science Review) and the national journal Svisa Espero (Swiss Hope), as well as a member of the Akademio de Esperanto, the Academy of Es- peranto that was and is responsible for the protection of the norms of the lan- guage. Among historians of the Esperanto movement, he is also still known as the inventor of the spesmilo, which was supposed to become an international currency among Esperantists (Garvía 2015). At the time, the interest in issues of artificial language solutions to perceived problems in international communication was more widespread in scholarly cir- cles than it is today. In the western world, German was often used as a language of e.g.

  • In Praise of Fluffy Bunnies
    In Praise of Fluffy Bunnies Copyright © 2012, Richard Forsyth. Background Reading John Lanchester's Whoops!, an entertaining account of how highly paid hotshot traders in a number of prestigious financial institutions brought the world to the brink of economic collapse, I was struck by the following sentence: "In an ideal world, one populated by vegetarians, Esperanto speakers and fluffy bunny wabbits, derivatives would be used for one thing only: reducing levels of risk." (Lanchester, 2010: 37). What struck me about this throwaway remark, apart from the obvious implication that derivatives were actually used to magnify risk rather than reducing it (doubtless by carnivores ignorant of Esperanto), was its presumption that right-thinking readers would take it for granted that Esperanto symbolizes well-meaning futility -- thus highlighting the author's status as a tough-minded realist. This is just one illustration that disdain for Esperanto in particular, and auxiliary languages in general, pervades intellectual circles in Britain today, as in many other countries. And if you dare to raise the subject of constructed international languages with a professional translator or interpreter be prepared not just for disdain but outright hostility. Of course professional interpreters are among the most linguistically gifted people on the planet, and can't see why the rest of us shouldn't become fluent in half a dozen natural languages in our spare time. (Not to mention the fact that a widespread adoption of Esperanto, or one of its competitors, would have a seriously negative impact on their opportunities for gainful employment.) Thus Esperanto has become a symbol of lost causes, to be dismissed out of hand by practical folk.

München: Lincom Europa, 2008. v+166 pp. ​ ​ The comparison of International Auxiliary Languages (IALs) is a key part of the study of planned languages. In fact, when the grammar of a IAL is conceived by the language planner, the existing projects are taken into consideration, often for contrast: the language planner has to convince the public that the newborn IAL is better than the existing ones. Mostly, the arguments brought in favour of the new IAL are structural ­­ e.g., it has a simpler and more transparent grammar ­­ as by that ver moment it is still used by no people at all save the language planner. Needless to say, after the first Universal Congress of the Esperanto movement in 1905, the reference point ­­ positive and negative ­­ for the new proposals became Zamenhof’s IAL (see at least Large 1985 and Forster 1982).

  • Semantic Compositionality: Esperanto Word Formation for Language Technology*
    Semantic compositionality: Esperanto word formation for language technology* KLAUS SCHUBERT Abstract For the use of Esperanto as an intermediate language in machine translation, a productive system of word formation that yields complex word forms with a predictable meaning is an essential asset. The study investigates the elements of the word-formational system of Esperanto and pays special attention to the combinatorial rules that allow the derivation of the meaning of complex word forms. An elaborate word grammar is presented and those aspects are pointed out which have a cross-linguistic bearing. The limitations of compositionality are discussed, which leads to some insights about the opposition of rule-based versus probabilistic techniques in computational linguistics. 1. Infinite use of finite means A fundamental goal of computational linguistics is to make intelligent computer systems fit for handling human language with both its regularity and its irregularity. A phenomenon of essential importance to many advanced developments in language technology is semantic composition- ality. There is no way to make computer systems "understand" texts in plain language unless the linguistic rules and mechanisms that build up complex meanings from the smallest meaningful elements are exhaustively accounted for. In the present contribution, I shall study semantic compo- sitionality with a specific interest in word formation, and I shall focus on word formation in Esperanto. This choice of object field makes it possible to view semantic compositionality in an especially clear light: in Esperanto word formation, the regularities of semantic composition are hardly troubled by syntactic peculiarities. The present study does not contain any computational formalisms.

  • O PROBLEMA DA LÍNGUA INTERNACIONAL Alfredo Maceira Rodríguez (UCB)
    O PROBLEMA DA LÍNGUA INTERNACIONAL Alfredo Maceira Rodríguez (UCB) 1. INTRODUÇÃO As línguas são criações dos homens para satisfazer suas necessidades de comunicação. Os povos antigos, mesmo os mais primitivos, desenvolve- ram algum sistema de comunicação oral, de acordo com sua cultura, suas crenças e seu modo de vida. Estes sistemas de comunicação variavam no âmbito geográfico, particularmente devido a barreiras naturais ou de outra natureza, entre elas as erigidas pelo próprio homem, por considerar seu po- vo culturalmente superior aos povos vizinhos. A Bíblia relata-nos a tentativa dos homens de ser tão poderosos co- mo Deus, pretendendo construir uma torre que chegasse até o céu. Para pôr fim a sua absurda ambição, o Senhor confundiu-lhes as línguas, colocando por terra eu mirabolante projeto.i Sem levar em conta a interpretação que se queira dar esta passagem bíblica, o certo é que o termo babel - nome da torre - tornou-se sinônimo de confusão lingüística. À medida que as civilizações iam evoluindo e se expandindo, mais se acentuava a necessidade de comunicar-se com outros povos, por motivos diversos, predominando os de natureza militar ou comercial. A invenção e utilização da escrita contribuiu com um grande avanço neste campo, quanto à fixação e preservação de uma dada língua, porém não resolveu a comuni- cação entre línguas diferentes, principalmente em sua expressão oral. O aprendizado de outra língua é tarefa penosa e demanda tempo e es- tudo. Poucos serão os que conseguem adquirir conhecimento razoável de uma língua estrangeira nas modalidades oral e escrita, sem estarem expostos a ela, ou seja, somente através de estudo, apesar dos modernos recursos dis- poníveis e da longa experiência em ensino de línguas desenvolvida e aper- feiçoada nos grandes centros urbanos durante longo tempo.
