Orwell’s Linguists
By james bezerra
In 1984, George Orwell created “Newspeak” which is a language designed to prevent its speakers from being able to think for themselves by depriving them of the mental vocabulary required for abstract thought.
This would have required, at some point prior to the year 1984, teams of linguists working together to design a language which would make it impossible, at some point after the year 1984, to then design a language.
