Enkonduko

Enkonduko is a term derived from Esperanto, the constructed international auxiliary language. It literally translates to "introduction" or "entry." In the context of Esperanto literature and discourse, "enkonduko" refers to the introductory section of a work, whether it be a book, an essay, a speech, or a musical piece. Its primary purpose is to set the stage for what is to follow, providing the reader or listener with necessary background information, context, and a preview of the main content.

The enkonduko often aims to capture the audience's attention, establish the author's credibility or perspective, and outline the scope and objectives of the piece. It may include historical context, definitions of key terms, the author's motivation for writing, or a summary of the main arguments or themes to be explored. A well-crafted enkonduko helps to orient the audience, making the subsequent information more accessible and understandable. It serves as a bridge between the reader and the core material, fostering engagement and setting expectations for the entire work. In essence, it is the initial gateway that invites the audience into the subject matter.
