Artificial Language
1. Notes
On
the seventeenth – no unnatural language to use – Esperanto – build at the end
of nineteenth century – very easy to use – containing English, German, romance,
Latin and Greek – has big body
Paraphrase:
On the seventeenth – century there is
no more five hundred of French Mathematician and Philosopher to make unnatural
language to use. The goodest so far is Esperanto. It is a language that build
at the end of nineteenth century by Dr. Zamenhof of Poland. Esperanto is very
easy to use, because containing English, German, romance, Latin and Greek.
Nowadays, the international part is
Interlingua, scientifically build by community of language competence out of Latin,
the romance language and English. However, Esperanto has a big body of people
who totally speak it and passing into the world, Interlingua does not get much
familiarity (Pei 175-176).

Paraphrase:
The new human-created languages, such as
Interlingua and Esperanto have been opposed because they are considered as temporary language. The other reason for
this opposition is that those language looked like presented only for American
and European people. Interlingua and Esperanto are not suitable used for
Slavic, Asiatic, and African (Pei 176).

Writing a Summary
1.
Artificial
Languages
Esperanto is a language
constructed by Dr. Zamenhof from Poland in the beginning of twenty century. It
is derived from English, German, Romance, Latin, and Greek. The constructed
language is Interlingua. It is discovered by experts out of Romance, English,
and Latin. However, the most popular of those two constructed language is
Esperanto (Pei 175-176).
2.
Artificial
Languages – Objections
The constructed languages such
as Esperanto and Interlingua have disapproved because they have not expanded
over a period of many centuries. They are also considered appropriate only for
the western European and American nations, not for Slavic, Asiatic, and
Africans (Pei 176).
3.
Americans
The
cultural differences in United States have been mopped up into one culture.
Therefore, the Americans have same behavior and characteristics such as
openness, friendliness, informality, and creativity.
4.
The
Work Ethic of Americans and Europeans
German
and French executives have an opinion that Americans executives are
workaholics. They are obsessed with work and rarely have holidays. In contrary,
European have more holidays. Most of them do not work on weekends.
5.
A
Less Social Society Becoming Shy
Many
American people become victims of America’s silent. The fast growing of
technology and social changes influence them into shyness. The rising
quantities of shy people mean Americans are lonelier, more alienated, and in
worse shape, both mentally and physically (Epstein A1).
6.
There are three factors caused
the rising of shyness of Americans according to Professor Philip G. Zimbardo
from Stanford University. First, the automation makes many of Americans have
more small opportunity for social contact. Second, the innovation in personal
computers and home electronic entertainment decreases social interaction.
Third, the changing nature of family life and rising fear of crime are shutting
people off from each other (qtd. In Epstein A10).
