Edits noted in [square brackets], as well as additional formatting, are as made by Doug Bigham , 2005, for LIN 312]  \nNewspeak was the official language of Oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. In the year 1984 there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing. The leading articles in The Times were written in it, but this was a tour de force which could only be carried out by a specialist. It was expected that Newspeak would have finally superseded Oldspeak (or Standard English, as we should call it) by about the year 2050. Meanwhile it gained ground steadily, all Party members tending to use Newspeak words and grammatical constructions more and more in their everyday speech. The version in use in 1984, and embodied in the Ninth and Tenth Editions of the Newspeak Dictionary, was a provisional one, and contained many superfluous words and archaic formations which were due to be suppressed later. It is with the final, perfected version, as embodied in the Eleventh Edition of the Dictionary, that we are concerned here.  \nThe purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible. 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. Its vocabulary was so constructed as to give exact and often very subtle expression to every meaning that a Party member could properly wish to express, while excluding all other meanings and also the possibility of arriving at them by indirect methods. This was done partly by the invention of new words, but chiefly by eliminating undesirable words and by stripping such words as remained of unorthodox meanings, and so far as possible of all secondary meanings whatever.  \nTo give a single example. The word free still existed in Newspeak, but it could only be used in such statements as ' This dog is free from lice' or ' This field is free from weeds' . It could not be used in its old sense of 'politically free' or 'intellectually free' since political and intellectual freedom no longer existed even as concepts, and were therefore of necessity nameless. Quite apart from the suppression of definitely heretical words, reduction of vocabulary was regarded as an end in itself, and no word that could be dispensed with was allowed to survive. Newspeak was designed not to extend but to diminish the range of thought, and this purpose was indirectly assisted by cutting the  \nchoice of words down to a minimum. Newspeak was founded on the English language as we now know it , though many Newspeak sentences, even when not containing newly-created words, would be barely intelligible to an English-speaker of our own day. Newspeak words were divided into three distinct classes, known as the A vocabulary, the B vocabulary (also called compound words), and the C vocabulary. It will be simpler to discuss each class separately, but the grammatical peculiarities of the language can be dealt with in the section devoted to the A vocabulary, since the same rules held good for all three categories.  \nThe A vocabulary.  \nThe A vocabulary consisted of the words needed for the business of everyday life--for such things as eating, drinking, working, putting on one's clothes, going up and downstairs, riding in vehicles, gardening, cooking, and the like. It was composed almost entirely of words that we already possess words like hit, run, dog, tree, sugar, house, field-- but in comparison with the present-day English vocabulary their number was extremely small, while their meani","cbCaipstPP8ieEx8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipstPP8ieEx8","pdf",115467,15,"English","# Newspeak’s purpose and design\n## Goals of limiting thought\n## Vocabulary reduction and meaning suppression\n## The A, B, and C vocabularies\n## Grammar: word classes and suffix rules","[{\"question\":\"Why was Newspeak created in Oceania?\",\"answer\":\"Newspeak was devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc and to make other modes of thought impossible by ensuring heretical ideas could not be expressed or even thought of through words.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Newspeak prevent political and intellectual freedom as concepts?\",\"answer\":\"It removes or strips the meanings of words so that terms associated with political and intellectual freedom no longer exist as concepts, making such ideas nameless.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the three classes of Newspeak vocabulary?\",\"answer\":\"Newspeak words are divided into the A vocabulary, the B vocabulary (compound words), and the C vocabulary, with grammar discussed across the sections relevant to the A vocabulary.\"}]","The Principles of Newspeak - read online | PDF",1790050361,23]
