Set in the authoritarian country of Oceania, Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell demonstrates how a government may attain complete control over its citizens via observation, manipulation, and, most significantly, language. Using a structuralist paradigm based on Saussure’s research on semiology and the discourse framework, this article examines the viability of Newspeak as a language. This is achieved by comparing George Orwell’s Newspeak with Ferdinand de Saussure’s theory of language function via the lenses of rigidity, diversity, communal identity, and flexibility. Additionally, it examines potential readings of the work that may reveal these language alterations. The study article reaches the conclusion that other parts of the totalitarianism of the authority are necessary for the real implementation of Newspeak adoption, as language, according to semiology, is a collaborative product and cannot be developed by a group of people. Since Newspeak’s syntax will eventually resurface during mind coalescence, this study contends that the language cannot be realistically developed since it will inevitably change to suit the needs of the linguistic society.
