komunikitaj

Komunikitaj is a term originating from the Esperanto language. It is a compound word formed from "komunumo" meaning community and "paroli" meaning to speak, with the suffix "-itaj" indicating something that has been done or created. Therefore, "komunikitaj" can be understood as "things spoken in a community" or "community-generated speech."

In practice, the term refers to the collective output of linguistic expressions within a specific community. This encompasses not only formal language but also slang, jargon, idiomatic expressions, and other forms of communication unique to that group. It highlights the dynamic and evolving nature of language as it is shaped and used by its speakers.

The concept of komunikitaj emphasizes the social aspect of language. It suggests that language is not a static entity but rather a living phenomenon that is constantly being created, modified, and transmitted through social interaction. Studying komunikitaj allows linguists and sociologists to understand the cultural values, social structures, and historical influences that shape a community's communication patterns.
