From stereotypes of perception to creative communication: esperanto in space of trancultural communication

The focus of this article is on Esperanto's linguistic culture, its social and communicative practices and attitudes, which are examined in the context of contemporary linguistic and cultural imperatives. It is obvious that Esperanto can only be included in current practices through the building up of its culture and communicative involvement. Although Esperanto has no economic base of its own, no territorial boundaries and no political establishment, the international language proves that it can serve as an effective means of bringing cultures and peoples together. Future of Esperanto depends on its creative ability to form effective technologies and mechanisms of communicative coupling with the global process of multicultural integration.
