PASSAGE1984 Newspeak (Scenario 3)

Researchers have observed that the following text discusses a language concept from George Orwell's 1984.

Newspeak is the fictional language of Oceania in George Orwell's novel 1984. It is a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the range of thought. The regime believes that if there are no words to express a rebellious thought, then the thought itself becomes impossible. By systematically destroying words, the Party aims to narrow the range of consciousness and make 'thoughtcrime' literally impossible.
