1984. A Textbook of Newspeak
Irina Mizinina — the translator of the cult novel "1984" — analyzes the principles by which George Orwell created Newspeak, how the language processes of the totalitarian society of Oceania coincide with changes in contemporary language, and what awaits those... who are not afraid to reflect on what is happening. Why did the party elite pay such close attention to the new language? The fact is that it was supposed to not only provide means of expression for the worldview and mental habits corresponding to Angsoc but also to make all other ways of thinking impossible. It was assumed that when Newspeak was fully adopted forever and by all, and the old language forgotten, heretical thoughts would become impossible.
