Introduction: in Search of Esperanto
Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems 13(2), 182-192, 2015 INTRODUCTION: IN SEARCH OF ESPERANTO Humphrey Tonkin* University of Hartford West Hartford, USA DOI: 10.7906/indecs.13.2.12 Regular article ABSTRACT After almost one hundred years of continuous use, Esperanto has achieved the status and character of a fully-fledged language, functioning much as any other language does. Research on Esperanto is hampered because knowledge of the subject is often regarded, ipso facto, as evidence of a lack of objectivity, and also because Esperanto, as largely an L2, is elusive, and its speakers hard to quantify. The problem is compounded by the rapid shift in its community from membership-based organizations to decentralized, informal web-based communication. Also shifting are the community’s ideological underpinnings: it began as a response to lack of communication across languages but is now often perceived by its users as an alternative, more equitable means of communication than the increasingly ubiquitous English. Underlying these changes is a flourishing cultural base, including an extensive literature and periodical press. There is a need for more research – linguistic, sociolinguistic, and in the history of ideas. In intellectual history, Esperanto and related ideas have played a larger role than is generally recognized, intersecting with, and influencing, such movements as modernization in Japan, the development of international organizations, socialism in many parts of the world, and, in our own day, machine translation. KEY WORDS Esperanto, Esperanto community, interlinguistic research, language ideology CLASSIFICATION JEL: O20 *Corresponding author, : [email protected]; +1 860 768 4448; *Mortensen Library, University of Hartford, West Hartford, CT 06117, USA Introduction: in search of Esperanto INTRODUCTION In an influential essay some years ago, the late Richard Wood described Esperanto as “a voluntary, non-ethnic, non-territorial speech community” [1]. -

Humphrey Tonkin Global Readiness
PIER 2005 Summer Institutes Keynote Speaker Humphrey Tonkin Global Readiness Humphrey Tonkin, President Emeritus and University Professor of the Humanities at the University of Hartford, is an advocate and world leader in international cooperation and education. An acclaimed scholar, he co-authored, some twenty years ago, The World in the Curriculum, widely regarded as a standard guide to internationalizing the college curriculum. Most recently, he published Service-Learning Across Cultures, on the impact of international service-learning. Over the years he has chaired such bodies as the Council for International Exchange of Scholars and the Canadian Fulbright Commission. He continues to promote the internationalization of education as a board member of such organizations as the American Forum for Global Education, the International Partnership for Service-Learning and Leadership, and World Learning, the organization that operates the School for International Training. Biography: Dr. Humphrey Tonkin joined the University as President in January 1989 and served for almost ten years, stepping down in June 1998 to return to scholarship and research. During 1998-99 he was visiting fellow at the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale University. Before coming to Hartford he was for five years president of Potsdam College of the State University of New York. Before that, his career as scholar and teacher had brought him to the rank of full professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. He also served that institution at various times as vice provost for undergraduate studies, master of Stouffer College House, coordinator of international programs, and director of freshman English. In 1980-81 he was also visiting professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University. -

Of the International Language Esperanto, Although Materials for Its Study Are Fairly Complete
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 135 202 FL 007 996 AUTEOR Tonkin, Eumphrey TITLE Introduction to Esperanto Studies. Esperanto Documents, New Series, Number 6A (1976)..

DESCRIPTORS *Prtificial Languages; International Relations; 1.4:1.1,uage Attitudes; *Language Research; Language Rolez Linguistic Theory; Literature; *Research Needs; Second Language Learning IDENTIFIERS *Esperanto ABSTRACT Relatively few studies have been made of the history of the international language Esperanto, although materials for its study are fairly complete. As a linguistic phenomenon, that is, a language in continuous use for almost a century but without national roots, it has also had little systematic study, though a considerable literature cn the subject exists in Esperanto itself. There are now several native speakers of Esperanto, who might merit special investigation. It would also be useful to have more extensive study of psychological and sociological aspects of the Esperanto speech community. Esperanto has an extensive literature, original and translated, little known by outside scholars. There is also a need for the study of Esperanto's practical application and its potential as a solution to international language problems. Some attention bas been given to the pedagogy of Esperanto, but more work is needed. The language is seldom mentioned in major reference works or adequately represented in libraries, and for these reasons it is often overlooked by scholars. -

Final Report Language and Migration
Final Report On the Symposium Language and Migration: Experience and Memory Held by the Migration Lab, Princeton University and The Study Group on Language and the United Nations April 19 - May 1, 2021 Rapporteurs: Sara Clement (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) Obi Eneh (Teachers College, Columbia University) Karen Feagin (University of Maryland, College Park) Maria Serio (Teachers College, Columbia University) Carolyn Swen (Teachers College, Columbia University) NOTE: The following report is based on notes taken by the rapporteurs in relation to the symposium and does not necessarily represent the exact comments of the participants or speakers. 1. Introduction, Program Overview, and Attendance This year’s annual symposium of the Study Group on Language and the United Nations, held jointly with the Migration Lab of Princeton University, took on a new form, as so many conferences have over the past year, given the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. The symposium was held online, with presenters recording and uploading their paper presentations to be viewed in advance, followed by abbreviated presentations during a designated time slot, to allow for moderated question and answer discussions. The symposium took place over six days, spaced across two weeks, convening scholars, humanists, social scientists, fieldworkers, policymakers, artists, and writers to think together about migrants as resourceful users, interpreters, and creators of language. The present report on this year’s symposium, with the topic Language and Migration: Experience and Memory, includes summaries of the keynote addresses, paper presentations, and other conference sessions. This year’s symposium reached 525 attendees (counted as unique viewers, of 1,052 total registrations) from upwards of 300 institutions, in 52 countries, on 6 continents. -
