* Brief description of Orwell's NewSpeak:
* ---------------------------------------
* Each word was made to serve as noun, verb, adjective and adverb. In
* particular, nouns and verbs were made exactly the same -- hence "think"
* replaced "thought" as a noun (viz. "crimethink" = thought crime, "thinkpol"
* = thought police). Adjectives were formed by adding "-ful" to a noun/verb;
* adverbs were formed by adding "-wise." Hence "speedful" = fast,
* "speedwise" = quickly, "unspeedwise" = slowly.
*
* The decision on which word should be negated was made fairly randomly;
* "dark" could be "unlight," or "light" could be "undark". But in all cases
* the most important objective (aside from ideological restriction) was
* euphony; the words had to be easily pronounceable.
*
* Most verb inflections were made regular; "he thinked," "he goed," "he
* eated"; only the auxiliaries and modals (to be, to have, may, shall, will,
* etc.) were allowed to inflect irregularly. Plurals were also regularized:
* "mans," "oxes," "childs." [This isn't implemented here.]
*
* There were three sets of words. The A vocabulary was for everyday use:
* car, man, red, good, etc. It was restricted to fairly simple words.
*
* The B vocabulary consisted of political/ideological words with very
* complicated connotations. All of the B words were compound words --
* bellyfeel (blind emotional acceptance of the ideology), oldthink (the way
* of thought before the Revolution), crimethink, Ingsoc, goodsex (intercourse
* solely for the purpose of making babies and with no physical enjoyment on
* the part of the female), sexcrime (any kind of sex but goodsex, including
* sex for its own sake), goodthink (thinking in accordance with Ingsoc), and
* so on. These words were also subject to the modifications mentioned
* above--hence "goodthinker," "goodthinkful," "goodthinkwise."
*
* The C vocabulary consisted of scientific and technical words (though there
* was no longer any word for "science," any connotation it might have being
* subsumed into "Ingsoc").
*
* Implementing a translator for all of this would be really complicated --
* I'd need rather extensive lists of the "irregular" words (so they could be
* regularized), as well as lists of politically meaningful words (so they
* could be excised or translated into either "goodthink" or "crimethink," as
* appropriate). Any kind of sexual topic should become "sexcrime" (it being
* unlikely that any talk of sex these days would fit into "goodsex").
*
* Basically, the reason it's hard is that NewSpeak was intended to *decrease*
* the vocabulary, and subsume complicated ideas into politically correct
* words so that you wouldn't have to understand the ideas anymore; you'd just
* have to emit the right words. So to properly "translate" anything into
* NewSpeak, you have to cut the vocabulary way down.
