Abstract:

This book addresses a fascinating topic – a constructed language that has
turned from a project into a fully-fledged language used by some of its
speakers on a daily basis. Based on extensive fieldwork, this book provides
rare and profound insights into the use of Esperanto in a large number of
communicative areas. It studies the speakers’ use of code-switching,
phraseology and metaphors, techniques they employ to enhance understanding,
such as metacommunication and repair strategies, as well as their predilection
for humour. The study also contributes to a comparison between the
communication in Esperanto and in the language that is now predominantly used
as a lingua franca – English – and allows conclusions to be drawn on the
question of what a lingua franca is all about.
