| Summary: | As defined at http://www.esperanto.net, 'Esperanto's purpose is not to replace any other language, but to supplement them: Esperanto would be used as a neutral language when speaking with someone who doesn't know one's own language.' The theme of this preconference was the concept of people who speak different languages communicating on an equal footing. Publishers, vendors, and librarians are often at odds with each other for a variety of reasons. The presenters of this program seek a common ground on which the three sides can communicate more effectively and better understand one another. |
