  • 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.

Tysiące międzynarodowych spotkań, zjazdów konferencji, sympozjów oraz innych imprez o charakterze politycznym, gospodarczym, kulturalnym, naukowym czy sportowym, miliony publi­ kacji w setkach języków, coraz gwałtowniejszy rozwój komunikacji, międzynarodowej wymiany handlowej i turystyki — wszystkie te czyn­ niki spowodowały, że świat nasz zmalał. Coraz bardziej odczuwamy brak uniwersalnego, międzynarodowego języka, wspólnego dla wszystkich mie­ szkańców Ziemi, języka, który pozwoliłby jeszcze bardziej zacieśnić więzi między narodami, języka, który by ludzi łączył, a nie dzielił. J u ż Platon powiedział, że bogowie najbardziej uszczęśliwiliby ludz­ kość, gdyby obdarowali ją jednym wspólnym językiem. Taki wspólny, uniwersalny język istniał już zresztą — według biblijnej legendy — aż do czasów budowy Wieży Babel, kiedy to Jahwe ukarał pychę ludzką, mieszając wszystkie języki. Od tego niemal momentu datują się próby stworzenia ponownie języka ogólnoświatowego. Prób takich były setki w historii ludzkości, niestety większość z nich jest albo zupełnie niezna­ na, albo po prostu nieudana.

  • 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

  • On Tone and Morphophonology of the Akan Reduplication Construction
    Alan Reed Libert & Christo Moskovsky 27 Journal of Universal Language 16-2 September 2015, 27-62 Terms for Bodies of Water in A Posteriori and Mixed Artificial Languages Alan Reed Libert & Christo Moskovsky University of Newcastle, Australia Abstract In this paper we look at words for bodies of water (e.g., words for ‘lake’ and ‘river’) in a large number of a posteriori and mixed artificial languages. After presenting the data and briefly discussing some of them, we analyze some aspects of them, including which meanings seem to be more basic than others. For example, words meaning ‘river’ appear to be unmarked with respect to words meaning similar, but smaller, bodies of water (e.g., ‘brook’), since some artificial languages derive the latter from the former, but no languages in our sample derive the latter from the former. This sort of analysis can be applied to other semantic fields in artificial languages.

U CTION In settling the Orthºgraphy ºf the Grebo language, a sc rious difficulty has been eacou;tered, in tº e great diversity cf pronuncia ion which prevails. In relati u to a very large pro portion of the words ºf the language it would be a didicult, iſ not an impractica's!e task, to find any two individuals in the same community, who wºuld pronºurce the same w a d in pre cisely the same way; and what is still inore reinar', a 'le, the saine individual would not be likely to pronounce the same word in the same way on two different occasions. This diversity in pronunciation arises in part from the contunta'le nature of a large number of their consonant sounds, and partly, from the want of a written standard. And to this latter cause, may be : atti ibuted the great number of dialects which are to be met with in Africa. In every separate cornmunity there is a tende:icy to the formation of a new dialect; and these dialects will c ºn ti:lue to multiply until they are restrained by the introducti, n of written systeins.

  • Sentations for Low Resource Neural Machine Translation
    Under review as a conference paper at ICLR 2020 EXPLOITING GENERAL PURPOSE SEQUENCE REPRE- SENTATIONS FOR LOW RESOURCE NEURAL MACHINE TRANSLATION Anonymous authors Paper under double-blind review ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a Neural Machine Translation with General Purpose Sequence Representations (NMTwGSR) system for low-resource machine trans- lation. The proposed system does not have explicit encoder as is the case for gen- eral encoder-decoder based NMT systems, instead, it exploits readily avail- able pre-trained sequence representations. The decoder as well takes the input from the masked BERT model and train further to learn encoder-decoder attentions be- tween source and target language. The proposed system with the general-purpose sequence representations is more practical in low resource settings. Especially, if there are no auxiliary high-resource language pairs or monolingual data available to pre-train the NMT system. We evaluate the proposed NMT system on four low-resource language pairs (Ro-En, Fi-En, Tr-En, Lv-En) and empirical results show that our approach is efficient in handling the low resource translation task. For instance, on the Ro-En parallel corpus, our system attains 5.68 BLEU points improvement compared to the competitive NMT system which does not exploit these sequence representations in low a resource environment (one percent of the full corpus). 1 INTRODUCTION Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has achieved near human-performance on several language pairs with the help of abundant parallel training data (Wu et al., 2016; Hassan et al., 2018). However, it is difficult to gather such large-scale parallel data for all the language pairs.
