		<description><![CDATA[Though the exact definition is debatable, natural language is often contrasted with artificial or constructed languages such as Esperanto. The term “natural language” itself is not unproblematic, as all human languages are social conventions, not biological phenomena—what is biologically determined is only the child’s general capacity to learn one or several of these social languages.

		<description><![CDATA[Esperanto is the most commonly used artificial language. It was created by Polish physician Ludwig L. Zamenhoff and was first presented in 1887. The name of the language comes from the pseudonym (“Doktoro Esperanto”) used by the author in his first textbook. Esperanto can be learned considerably quicker than a typical natural language. The grammar [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tfvianna.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1293998&amp;post=12&amp;subd=tfvianna&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today Esperanto has at least three properties that make it similar to a natural language:         1) the norm of Esperanto is partly non-codified.     Esperanto cannot be learnt from textbooks, grammars and dictionaries alone, but only by participating in the speech community. The concept of speech community as applied to Esperanto is very [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tfvianna.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1293998&amp;post=14&amp;subd=tfvianna&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[    Esperanto is not the only, or even the 1st, artificial language. In the 1600s, Descartes created a language made up of numbers to represent words and ideas, and Sir Francis Bacon suggested a written system similar to Chinese ideographs. &#160;     Other scholars came up with other schemes. Most, however, had little success.
