O Języku Pomocniczym Międzynarodowym” 111 Lat Później
425 BULLETIN DE LA SOCIÉTÉ POLONAISE DE LINGUISTIQUE, FASC. LXXVI, 2020 ISSN 0032-3802 IDA STRIA Uniwersytet Warszawski, Warszawa ORCID: 0000-0002-7715-0758 ♦ DOI: 10.5604/01.3001.0014.6657 „O języku pomocniczym międzynarodowym” 111 lat później Streszczenie W 1908 roku Jan Niecisław Baudouin de Courtenay wygłosił publiczny odczyt „O języku pomocniczym międzynarodowym”, w którym to prezentował tytułowe zagadnienie, skupiając się na językach sztucz- nych. Niniejszy referat ma na celu analizę powyższego tekstu i stwierdzenie, w jakim stopniu aktualne jest stanowisko tego wielkiego językoznawcy w świetle nie tylko dzisiejszej wiedzy językoznawczej, ale także pod kątem faktycznego rozwoju języków przez niego opisanych. Słowa kluczowe: międzynarodowy język pomocniczy, esperanto, volapük, języki sztuczne, lingua franca “On an international auxiliary language” 111 years later Summary In 1908, Jan Niecisław Baudouin de Courtenay gave a public lecture entitled “O języku pomocniczym międzynarodowym” (‘On an international auxiliary language’), in which he focused on artificial languag- es. This paper aims to analyse the ideas presented in Baudouin de Courtenay’s lecture and verify to what extent the great linguist’s views are still valid in the light not only of current linguistic knowledge, but also in terms of the actual development of the languages he described. Keywords: international auxiliary language, Esperanto, Volapük, artificial language,lingua franca W 1908 roku nakładem drukarni Literackiej ukazał się publiczny odczyt Jana Niecisława Baudouina de Courtenay „O języku pomocniczym międzynarodowym”. W jedenastu sekcjach autor prezentował tytułowe zagadnienie, omawiając kwestie historyczne, społeczno-polityczne, czysto językoznawcze czy pedagogiczne, aby w pełni zobrazować złożoność problemu. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie tego dość mało znanego tekstu. -
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.

December 7, 1967
112th Year, No. 33 ST. JOHNS, MICH. — THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1967 2 SECTIONS - 34 PAGES 15 Cents County won't H decline federal money for EOC A formal attempt to "decline* federal money for the construction of the civil defense emer gency operating center in the Clinton County Courthouse was defeated by the .board of supervisors Monday. Supervisor Derrill Shinabery oU Greenbush Township introduced a resolution that the board ,decline to accept the federal participating costs and that the federal government be reimbursed the money that it has expended, to date for additional architectual fees (reportedly about $I,,084). The resolution garnered the votes of seven supervisors, but the other 13 present at the meet ing turned it down. The result seemed to be that the board will go along and accept federal funds, although no such application for the funds was approved. Shinabery told, the board his resolution was not intended to scrap the emergency operating center, but' merely to retain control by the, county over the future use of the emergency operating center portion of the east wing. The resolution was introduced at the board's afternoon session. Early in the morning session, the board heard Capt. Edward A. Lenon, commanding officer of the civil defense division of,the ST.

Esperanto, Civility, and the Politics of Fellowship: A
ESPERANTO, CIVILITY, AND THE POLITICS OF FELLOWSHIP: A COSMOPOLITAN MOVEMENT FROM THE EASTERN EUROPEAN PERIPHERY A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ana Velitchkova Omar Lizardo, Director Graduate Program in Peace Studies and Sociology Notre Dame, Indiana July 2014 © Copyright by ANA MILENOVA VELITCHKOVA 2014 All rights reserved ESPERANTO, CIVILITY, AND THE POLITICS OF FELLOWSHIP: A COSMOPOLITAN MOVEMENT FROM THE EASTERN EUROPEAN PERIPHERY Abstract by Ana Velitchkova This dissertation examines global, regional, state-, group-, and person-level processes involved in the growth of the movement formed around the constructed international language Esperanto. The Esperanto movement emerged in the global arena in the late nineteenth century as a response to inequalities in the nation-state field. In the course of several decades, the movement established a new global field based on the logic of equal communication through Esperanto and on the accumulation of cultural capital. While the field gained autonomy from the nation-state field, it has not been recognized as its equal. Persons endowed with cultural capital but lacking political and economic capital have been particularly drawn to Esperanto. Ironically, while attempting to overcome established unfair distinctions based on differential accumulation of political and economic capital, the Esperanto movement creates and maintains new distinctions and inequalities based on cultural capital accumulation. Ana Velitchkova At the regional level, the Esperanto movement became prominent in state- socialist Eastern Europe in the second half of the twentieth century. The movement found unexpected allies among independent states in the Eastern European periphery. -

Language Attitudes Among Esperanto Speakers Varia
146 VARIA / MISCellANEOUS Język. Komunikacja. Informacja Ilona Koutny, Ida Stria (red./ed.) 12/2017: 146–158 Ida Stria Language attitudes among Esperanto speakers Abstrakt (Postawy językowe użytkowników esperanto). Esperanto jest planowym mię- dzynarodowym językiem pomocniczym, skonstruowanym przez L.L. Zamenhofa i wydanym w 1887 r. Mimo że został stworzony, aby ułatwić komunikację międzynarodową, stał się narzędziem samoidentyfikacji. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu opisanie postaw językowych, które formują się w esperanckiej wspólnocie językowej oraz wykazanie, że te postawy kształtują tę społeczność. Abstract. Esperanto is a planned international auxiliary language, constructed by L.L. Za- menhof and published in 1887. Although created to facilitate international communication, it has become a tool of self-identification. This paper aims to describe language attitudes formed in the Esperanto speech community and to demonstrate that these attitudes shape the community. Introduction Esperanto is an international auxiliary language initiated in 1887. Over the years it has developed into a full-fledged language with a robust speech community (see Blanke 2001; Duličenko 2001; Stria 2015). Esperanto speakers use it not only as a simple mode of intercultural communication; they develop the language and form their identity through it. This paper deals with some aspects of this community, discussing language attitu- des and their consequences for the speakers. It is argued that Esperanto, in the begin- ning meant to serve as a language to ease international communication, is no longer primarily so used. Although Esperanto speakers very often boast knowledge of more than one native and various foreign languages, Esperanto itself is usually not counted among “foreign” languages, but rather as a means of self-identification. -
