Invented Languages in Language Policy and Planning
The impulse to create languages has a long history, extending back at least to the “Lingua Ignota,” essentially a simplified Latin, devised in the 12th century by the Abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098–1179).
Dangerous Language — Esperanto under Hitler and Stalin
This is Volume 1 of Dangerous Language. This book examines the rise of the international language Esperanto, launched in 1887 as a proposed solution to national conflicts and a path to a more tolerant
Invented cities, invented languages
L. L. Zamenhof saw the creation of his proposed international language, Esperanto, as a process of construction, rather like the building of a city. This new city of words would replace the walls of language difference that had previously separated the nations. His poems imagined a new “foundation” replacing the Tower of Babel and destroying the walls of Jericho. Unlike most other projectors of international languages, Zamenhof saw the creation o…
The search for linguistic equality
Five papers from the symposium on language and equality, held in New York in 2014 and organized by the Working Group on Language and the United Nations, make up this special issue of Language Problems and Language Planning. The symposium highlighted the difficulty of defining the nature of language equality, the many instances in which it is abandoned in favor of some apparently more practical goal (for example, the expansion of English in higher…
Language and the Ingenuity Gap in Science
Over the centuries, first Latin and then French, German, and Russian have receded in perceived importance as languages of science. Other powerful languages with extensive internal scientific discourse, such as Japanese and Chinese, have always been largely excluded. The dominance of English has elevated the reputation of English-language universities and advantaged native speakers of English by creating a self-reinforcing loop of language flow. A…
Chaos in Esperanto-Land
The Holocaust had a profound effect on the Esperanto movement. Many of the leading members of the Esperanto language community perished, and some survived. Recent years have seen a revival of interest in those who died and those who lived. Among the dead were most of the family of L. L. Zamenhof, author of Esperanto. Among the survivors was the father of the financier George Soros, Tivadar Soros, whose memoir of survival in Nazi-occupied Budapest…

Recent studies in Esperanto and interlinguistics
The mainstream conduct of research on Esperanto and interlinguistics is a relatively recent phenomenon, which of late has grown easier through better access to libraries and a growing body of scholarly work. The situation of Esperanto and interlinguistics in universities remains stable. However, the years 2005 and 2006 have been marked by the passing of two major figures: Ito Kanzi in Japan and William Auld in Scotland. A survey of recent scholar…

Cent jaroj de Esperanto: Superrigardo La unua lernolibro de Esperanto aperis en 1887. Ĝia aǔtoro, L. L. Zamenhof, kreis lingvan movadon, kies historio daǔras seninterrompe ĝis la hodiaǔa tago. La lingvo mem estas miksaĵo de eüropaj elementoj kaj apriora, esence internacia, strukturo. Tra la jaroj, la lingvo ekspansiis en ciujn mediojn de la homa sperto: ekzistas granda literaturo, oni uzas la lingvon en scienco, estas ec kelkaj denaskaj parolanto…
