	Newspeak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
		Newspeak is closely based on English but has a greatly reduced and simplified vocabulary and grammar.
		Thus Newspeak is possibly an attempt by Orwell to describe a deliberate intent to exploit this decadence with the aim of oppressing its speakers.

	George Orwell: 1984 - Part III - Chapter 6
		Newspeak was the official language of Oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism.
		Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the choice of words down to a minimum.
		Newspeak words were divided into three distinct classes, known as the A vocabulary, the B vocabulary (also called compound words), and the C vocabulary.

	Nineteen Eighty-Four - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the end of the novel there is an appendix on Newspeak (the artificial language invented and, by degrees, imposed by the Party to limit the capacity to express or even think "unorthodox" thoughts), in the style of an academic essay.
		Newspeak, the "official language" of Oceania, is extraordinary in that its vocabulary decreases every year; the state of Oceania sees no purpose in maintaining a complex language, and so Newspeak is a language dedicated to the "destruction of words".
		The true goal of Newspeak is to take away the ability to think anything not desired by the state (thought-crime), let alone act against the state, by eliminating words to express the concepts.

	Newspeak Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com
		Newspeak is closely based on English but has a greatly reduced and simplified vocabulary and grammar; this suited the totalitarian regime of The Party, whose aim was to make subversive thought ("thoughtcrime") and speech impossible.
		The basic idea behind Newspeak was to remove all shades of meaning from language, leaving simple dichotomies (pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, good thoughts and thoughtcrimes).
		A comparison to Newspeak can be seen in political rhetoric, where two opposing sides string together phrases so empty of meaning that they may be compared to the taunts young children toss back and forth.

	Newspeak and George Orwell's 1984 - Charles' George Orwell Links
		Newspeak is a fictional language in George Orwell's famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
		Orwell reveals a certain ethnocentrism in his ideas, in that the characteristics of Newspeak that he derides as controlling changes in English are common in perfectly functional agglutinative languages.
		Thus the term "estate tax" was replaced by the "death tax." A similar effect may be observed in the abortion debates where those advocating restrictions on abortion label themselves "pro-life," leaving their opponents presumably "anti-life." Conversely, those advocating greater availability of abortion call themselves "pro-choice," and the opposition "anti-choice," to engender similarly positive emotions.

	Principles of Newspeak
		It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought -- that is, a thought diverging from the principles of IngSoc -- should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words.
		Newspeak words were divided into three distinct classes, known as the A vocabulary, the B vocabulary, and the C vocabulary.
		In Newspeak it was seldom possible to follow a heretical thought further than the perception that it was heretical: beyond that point the necessary words were nonexistent.

	Background on the novel 1984
		Big Brother's Ingsoc Party (English Socialism) has perfected the uses of high technology to monitor the lives of its populace, and to insure unswerving loyalty through surveillance, propaganda and brainwashing.
		The government's most brilliant and most appalling project is the actual deconstruction of the English language into Newspeak, the language of the Party.
		By removing meaning and nuance from the vocabulary, the government hopes to eradicate seditious and anti-social thinking before it even has the chance to enter a person's mind.

	Are We Moving Closer to Newspeak?
		Newspeak, however, is the language ideal, which (the governing party of Ingsoc—English Socialism—hopes) will eventually replace Oldspeak completely.
		This "language" not only involved the creation of words (often shortened, such as Ingsoc for "English Socialism" and minipax for "the Ministry of Peace"), but also the removal of other words which were considered offensive to the party and its aim to rule what would turn out to be a world of robot-thinkers.
		In this age of sending e-mails and rushing through messages in order to post them rapidly in a chat room, our Newspeak is continuing to evolve.

		Newspeak on the other hand is in the interest of intentional censorship for the interest of a party in power (in order to retain power at any cost necessary) and prohibiting everyone from having equal voice.
		Newspeak is the attempt to drain language of it’s ability to mean anything but the literal, and a fictional one at that.
		Newspeak, imposed by either the state or a powerful segment of society, is for all intents and purposes cencorship and an attack on liberty.

	[No title]
		According to "The Principles of Newspeak," the purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and the mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible." As a theory, Newspeak seems to work.
		Orwell states "it was perceived that in thus abbreviating a name one narrowed and subtly altered its meaning, by cutting out most of the associations that would otherwise cling to it." Through control of the language, the Party attempted to control the use of the mind.
		However, while in "The Principles of Newspeak" Orwell implies a certain evil to these tenets, in "Politics and the English Language" he applauds much of the simplification of language.

	Newspeak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Newspeak is a name given to the forecoming language of the totalitarian society portrayed in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
		The language of Newspeak is the product of diminishing and reducing of words thought unnecessary in the existing language - the same as Modern English - by the government, resulting in a smaller vocabulary.
		With the use of Newspeak, the Party would be greatly strengthened in that Newspeak is designed to narrow the possibility of human thought.

		He now seeks even higher taxes, while making sure that voters are not given a choice or allowed to participate in the debate.

	1984 by George Orwell: Chapter 5
		Talking to him was largely a matter of getting him away from such subjects and entangling him, if possible, in the technicalities of Newspeak, on which he was authoritative and interesting.
		He pushed his pannikin aside, took up his hunk of bread in one delicate hand and his cheese in the other, and leaned across the table so as to be able to speak without shouting.
		Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak,' he added with a sort of mystical satisfaction.

		The author draws comparisons to the "newspeak" of Orwell's 1984, which is eerily apt.
		Prior to penning 1984, Orwell's expressed expressed his thoughts on the topic of what would become newspeak in a famous essay called "Politics and the English Language." We could all use a refresher course in old George's 6 rules of language.
		Anyone who catches me spouting newspeak is hereby granted permission to pop me on the nose with a rolled up copy of 1984.
