Big Brother's Newspeak Ingsoc Oldspeak NewOldthink

318 (aso) IN ADDITION,

could appreciate the full force of the word BELLYFEEL, which implied a blind, enthusiastic acceptance difficult to imagine today;
or of the word OLDTHINK, which was in-extricably mixed up with the idea of wickedness & decadence!

But the special function of certain Newspeak words, of which OLDTHINK was one, was not so much to express meanings as to destroy them?! These words, necessarily few in number, had had their meanings extended until they contained within themselves whole (freak-funny) batteries of words which, as they were sufficiently covered by a single comprehensive term, could now be easily scrapped and at last but not least totally forgotten.

The greatest difficulty facing the compilers of the Newspeak ("dicke Van Dale van dealen & pushen" was not anymore to invent thus the few new words, but, having invented them, to make sure what they meant: to make sure, that is to say, what ranges of words they so had cancelled by their existence. {Zie Hadjememaar!, Kopvoddentaxaties!, 2000 jaar joden, heidenen, barbaren, kannibalen e.d.!}~~~

As we have already seen in the case of the word FREE, words which had once born a heretical meaning were sometimes retained for the sake of convenience, but only with the undesirable meanings purged out of them. Countless other words such as HONOUR, JUSTICE & MORALITY, INTERNATIONALISM, DEMOCRACY, SCIENCE & RELIGION had simply ceased to exist. A few blanket words covered them, and, in covering them, abolished them. All words grouping themselves round the concepts of liberty & equality, for instance, were con-trained in the single word CRIMETHINK, while all words grouping themselves round the concepts of objectivity & rationalism were con-tained in the single word OLDTHINK.

(USE & DISUSE OF WORDS DETERMINED CONTENT, ACTION, PLEASURE, PAIN & 'purgatory'?!!) ~
