Appendix

The appendix talks about New Speak and some of its basic principles. It is Oceania’s official language and was mainly created to narrow the range of thought and reduce thought crime. The way it works is by using simple words such as good or bad and adding prefixes to determine its strength. And example of this for the phrase “really bad” one could say “plusungood” or if you want it stronger it could be “doubleplus ungood.” As you can see a whole range or synonyms for a word can be eliminated and the thought range decreases.
