There is an English-language research article online that uses the mechanics of Esperanto in its methodology. The title of the article is: “Invented Antonyms: Esperanto as a Semantic Lab”. Here is the link.

This is a good idea to post links to such papers because it will motivate linguists to get interested in Esperanto.

There is a lot of other phenomena that can be studied more easily on esperanto: how irregularities does appear, relations between (descriptive) syntax and (precriptive) grammar, functional morphology, etc.

And hearing serious linguistic arguments about our language (instead of usual prejudices resulting from "no-debate" policy) would be very useful for us, too.
