The International Auxiliary Language Esperanto: Grammar & Commentary by George Cox
"The International Auxiliary Language Esperanto: Grammar & Commentary" by Major-General George Cox is a comprehensive guide on Esperanto, primarily written in the early 20th century. This work serves as both a grammar book and a commentary, addressing the structure and use of the Esperanto language created by Dr. Ludovic Zamenhof. It elaborates on the language's logical grammar and aims to facilitate its adoption as a common second language for international communication. The
opening of the text includes prefaces that discuss the history and purpose of Esperanto, highlighting its creation to promote global understanding among different nationalities. It reflects on the benefits, such as easing correspondence across language barriers and the efficiency it could bring to international discourse. Major-General Cox emphasizes that the book is intended for students keen to master Esperanto not just superficially, but with a focus on style and grammatical elegance. He encourages readers to understand the simplicity of learning Esperanto while also appreciating the depth and cultural richness it can impart. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
