George Orwell's "Politics And The English Language"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. George Orwell is not at all happy with the way in which the English language is utilized in contemporary society. According to the author, whose article entitled Politics and the English Language points out myriad speech problems, proper English has fallen by the wayside in not so delicate a plunge. In essence, Orwell argues that the "dumbing down" of English has caused people to unlearn the very fundamental principles of communication, reaching instead for flowery – if not completely incomprehensible – speech patterns that no more fulfill a meaning than provide for coherent thought.
