It describes parts of speech that can be directly used with words in the preceding dictionary. "...The grammar of Newspeak had two outstanding peculiarities. The first of these was an almost complete interchangeability between different parts of speech. Any word in the language (in principle this applied even to very abstract words such as "if" or "when") could be used either as verb, noun, adjective, or adverb. Between the verb and the noun form, when they were of the same root, there was never any variation, this rule of itself involving the destruction of many archaic forms. The word thought, for example, did not exist in Newspeak. Its place was taken by think, which did duty for both noun and verb. No etymological principle was involved here; in some cases it was the original noun that was chosen for retention, in other cases the verb. Even where a noun and verb of kindred meaning were not etymologically connected, one or other of them was frequently suppressed. There was, for example, no such word as cut, its meaning being sufficiently covered by the noun-verb "knife." Adjectives were formed by adding the suffix "-ful" to the noun-verb, and adverbs by adding "-wise." Thus, for example, "speedful" meant "rapid" and speedwise meant "quickly." Certain of our present-day adjectives, such as good, strong, big, black, soft, were retained, but their total number was very small. There was little need for them, since almost any adjectival meaning could be arrived at by adding "-ful" to a noun-verb. None of the now-existing adverbs was retained, except for a very few already ending in "-wise;" the -"wise" termination was invariable. The word "well," for example, was replaced by "goodwise." In addition, any word--this again applied in principle to every word in the language--could be negatived by adding the the affix "un-", or could be strengthened by the affix "plus-", or for still greater emphasis "doubleplus-." Thus, for example, uncold meant warm, while pluscold and doublepluscold meant, respectively, very cold and superlatively cold. It was also possible, as in present-day English, to modify the meaning of almost any word by prepositional affixes such as "ante-," "post-," "up-," "down-," etc. By such methods it was found possible to bring about an enormous diminution of vocabulary. Given, for instance, the word "good" there was no need for such a word as "bad," since the required meaning was equally well--indeed, better--expressed by "ungood." All that was necessary, in any case where two words formed a natural pair of opposites was to decide which of them to suppress. "Dark" for example, could be replaced by "unlight," or "light" by "undark," according to preference. The second distinguishing mark of Newspeak grammar was its regularity. Subject to a few exceptions which are mentioned below, all inflections followed the same rules. Thus, in all verbs the preterite and the past participle were the same and ended in "-ed." The preterite of steal was throughout the language, all such forms as "swam," "gave," "brought," "spoke," "taken," etc., being abolished. All plurals were made by adding "-s" or "-es" as the case might be. The plurals of "man," "ox," "life" were "mans," "oxes, "lifes." Comparison of adjectives was invariably made by adding "-er," "-est," (good, gooder, goodest), irregular forms and the "more," "most" formation being suppressed. The only classes of words that were still allowed to inflect irregularly were the pronouns, the relatives, the demonstrative adjectives, and the auxiliary verbs. All of these followed their ancient usage, except that "whom" had been scrapped as unnecessary, and the "shall," "should" tenses had been dropped, all their uses being covered by "will" and "would." There were also certain irregularities in word formation arising out of the need for rapid and easy speech. A word which was difficult to utter, or was liable to be incorrectly heard, was held to be ipso facto a bad word; occasionally therefore, for the sake of euphony, extra letters were inserted into a word or an archaic formation was retained. But this need made itself felt chiefly in connection with the B vocabulary. Why so great an importance was attached to ease of pronunciation will be made clear later in this essay. This was an excerpt of the book "1984" by George Orwell it is in the appendix of the book, entitled "The Principles of Newspeak." This is part of the explanation of the "A" vocabulary of Newspeak. _______________________________________________________________ ^^ ^^ ^^ Junk Culture Hallucination ^^ ^^ xe0nsun ration ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ Junk Culture: (415)930-6786: 300-2400 bauds: 24hrs/night ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^Sysops: Tinman & Carcinogenic 'Nam Curse(aka: Agent Orange)^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ --Staff-- ^^ ^^ The Black Avenger, Anonymous Lumberjack, Nuker, ^^ ^^ Anonymous Rebel, Kathleen, Matt Frick ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ "I can't explain myself, I'm ^^ ^^ afraid, sir, because I'm not ^^ ^^ myself, you see." ^^ ^^ -Lewis Carroll ^^ ^^ ^^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another file downloaded from: ! -$- ! . /_\ /-o-\ & the Temple of the Screaming Electron (o..) | * Walnut Creek, California + |:| /^\ /~\ ! |:|/\ _| |____|:| 2400/1200/300 baud 415-935-5845 /^\ / O |/...\ /_-_\ Jeff Hunter, Sysop |@ \_| @ /:::::|/|- : -| \ | | | /~ |/| _ | - - - - - - - - - * |____|/~ @ /~\ |/|_(_)_| Aaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! / /_______|_|_|/ Specializing in conversations, obscure information, high explosives, arcane knowledge, political extremism, diversive sexuality, insane speculation, and wild rumours.
