The Role of Neologisms in Creating Dystopian Atmosphere and Authorial Style
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the role of neologisms in creating a dystopian atmosphere and shaping authorial style in 1984 by George Orwell. It demonstrates that invented terms such as “Newspeak,” “doublethink,” and “thoughtcrime” function as tools of ideological control, influence thought, and construct social identity. The research highlights the connection between language, power, and narrative in dystopian fiction, revealing how linguistic innovation enhances both meaning and style.
