taken to make every word easily
pronounceable.

In Newspeak, euphony outweighed every consideration other than
exactitude of meaning. Regularity of grammar was always sacrificed to it
when it seemed necessary. And rightly so, since what was required, above
all for political purposes, was short clipped words of unmistakable
meaning which could be uttered rapidly and which roused the minimum of
echoes in the speaker?s mind. The words of the B vocabulary even gained
in force from the fact that nearly all of them were very much alike.
Almost invariably these words -- goodthink, Minipax, prolefeed, sexcrime,
joycamp, Ingsoc, bellyfeel, thinkpol, and countless others -- were words
of two or three syllables, with the stress distributed equally between
the first syllable and the last. The use of them encouraged a gabbling
style of speech, at once staccato and monotonous. And this was exactly
what was aimed at. The intention was to make speech, and especially
speech on any subject not ideologically neutral, as nearly as possible
independent of consciousness. For the purposes of everyday life it was
no doubt necessary, or sometimes necessary, to reflect before speaking,
but a Party member called upon to make a political or ethical judgement
should be able to spray forth the correct opinions as automatically as a
machine gun spraying forth bullets. His training fitted him to do this,
the language gave him an almost foolproof instrument, and the texture of
the words, with their harsh sound and a certain wilful ugliness which
was in accord with the spirit of Ingsoc, assisted the process still
further.

So did the fact of having very few words to choose from. Relative to our
own, the Newspeak vocabulary was tiny, and new ways of reducing it were
constantly being devised. Newspeak, indeed, differed from most all other
languages in that its vocabulary grew smaller instead of larger every
year. Each reduction was a gain, since the smaller the area of choice,
the smaller the tempt
