Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Last but not least
There are some emerging topics in interlinguistics since the year 2000
1 Hollywood linguistics languages planned for fiction (TolkienrsquosKlingon Narsquoavi Dothraki) need professional linguists to satisfyfans
2 parallels between revitalisation of minority languages and languagecreation what can we learn from each other
3 metalinguistic awareness in basic schools through the activecreation of a secret language in class by pupils (a pilot experimentby me in a Montessori in Milan Italy ndash details available onrequest)

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)
Tentatively
1000 multilingual families speaking (also) Esperanto
10000 active Esperantists (engaged in the community)
100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

In practice how it works
Coming back and forth for 1 dayweek from Italy is nonsense
Therefore in order to deliver the courses I will be here
1st semester 1st blok Interlinguistics (sep-oct)

Throughout the year the rest of the work amount is devoted to
research activities (conferences journal papers etc) collaborations in research education and dissemination too
external international eg with the University of Liverpool internal such as the Exhibition of the Esperanto Book

Some common questions and objections

How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)
Tentatively
1000 multilingual families speaking (also) Esperanto
10000 active Esperantists (engaged in the community)
100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

2 parallels between revitalisation of minority languages and languagecreation what can we learn from each other
3 metalinguistic awareness in basic schools through the activecreation of a secret language in class by pupils (a pilot experimentby me in a Montessori in Milan Italy ndash details available onrequest)

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

Throughout the year the rest of the work amount is devoted to
research activities (conferences journal papers etc) collaborations in research education and dissemination too

Some common questions and objections
16 de 20
How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)
Tentatively
1000 multilingual families speaking (also) Esperanto
10000 active Esperantists (engaged in the community)
100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Last but not least
There are some emerging topics in interlinguistics since the year 2000
1 Hollywood linguistics languages planned for fiction (TolkienrsquosKlingon Narsquoavi Dothraki) need professional linguists to satisfyfans
2 parallels between revitalisation of minority languages and languagecreation what can we learn from each other
3 metalinguistic awareness in basic schools through the activecreation of a secret language in class by pupils (a pilot experimentby me in a Montessori in Milan Italy ndash details available onrequest)

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)

100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Last but not least
There are some emerging topics in interlinguistics since the year 2000
1 Hollywood linguistics languages planned for fiction (TolkienrsquosKlingon Narsquoavi Dothraki) need professional linguists to satisfyfans
2 parallels between revitalisation of minority languages and languagecreation what can we learn from each other
3 metalinguistic awareness in basic schools through the activecreation of a secret language in class by pupils (a pilot experimentby me in a Montessori in Milan Italy ndash details available onrequest)

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

Throughout the year the rest of the work amount is devoted to
research activities (conferences journal papers etc) collaborations in research education and dissemination too
external international eg with the University of Liverpool internal such as the Exhibition of the Esperanto Book

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

Interlinguistics in a nutshell
Interlinguistics is the interdisciplinary linguistic field dedicated tostudying the role of language in every facet of internationalcommunication ndash including language policy and planning issue suchas (minority) language rights economics of language (who gainswho loses how to afford a fair communication etc) A special focusis on the theory and practical application of constructed languagesauxiliary languages and planned languages
Esperanto plays a central role in this regard it is the most developedplanned language ever being spoken by a community for more than125 years It survived two World Wars creating a unique phenomenonoffering continuous challenges for theoretical and applied linguists

Some common questions and objections

How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)
Tentatively
1000 multilingual families speaking (also) Esperanto
10000 active Esperantists (engaged in the community)
100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Some common questions and objections
16 de 20
How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)
Tentatively
1000 multilingual families speaking (also) Esperanto
10000 active Esperantists (engaged in the community)
100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Last but not least
There are some emerging topics in interlinguistics since the year 2000
1 Hollywood linguistics languages planned for fiction (TolkienrsquosKlingon Narsquoavi Dothraki) need professional linguists to satisfyfans
2 parallels between revitalisation of minority languages and languagecreation what can we learn from each other
3 metalinguistic awareness in basic schools through the activecreation of a secret language in class by pupils (a pilot experimentby me in a Montessori in Milan Italy ndash details available onrequest)

How many speakers of Esperanto are out there
Difficult question No reliable statistics (there are no ID documents)
Tentatively
1000 multilingual families speaking (also) Esperanto
10000 active Esperantists (engaged in the community)
100000 lsquopassiversquo Esperantists (not so engaged but )
1000000 people with a significant contact (followed a course orwent to a congress sometimes but it is a low-priority interest)

But English is the de facto international language
The dichotomy lsquoEnglish vs Esperantorsquo is too semplicistic
Esperanto is not against English it is for a better multilingual world
Moreover there are some aspects of Esperanto still interesting now
it provides an alternative globalisation with a strong network
it gives you a perspective to the world on a neutral ground
it helps to learn other European languages
it attracts non-ordinary persons keen to internationalisationtravelling language love and a sustainable world (in many senses)

Last but not least
There are some emerging topics in interlinguistics since the year 2000
1 Hollywood linguistics languages planned for fiction (TolkienrsquosKlingon Narsquoavi Dothraki) need professional linguists to satisfyfans
2 parallels between revitalisation of minority languages and languagecreation what can we learn from each other
3 metalinguistic awareness in basic schools through the activecreation of a secret language in class by pupils (a pilot experimentby me in a Montessori in Milan Italy ndash details available onrequest)
