Abstract

This essay demonstrates the existence of a semi-conscious belief in which language is considered as a natural development and not as an instrument that enables each speaker to give it form depending on their own purposes. For Orwell, it is clear that behind the decline of language there are economic and political causes and that these causes are not simply due to the bad influence of the writer. What is occurring to the English language and language in general is that it is becoming more inaccurate because language is in crisis.
