> #土居光知 の #基礎日本語 (六－１６）
> 昭和八年三月、土居光知の『基礎日本語』が刊行された。本書は #CKOgden の "#BasicEnglish" の影響によるもので、「できる限り單純な、しかし何事でもはつきりと言ひ表し得る、整理された、また記憶することがたやすい、基礎となるべき日本語を組織すること」を目的として千語の語彙を選び、それを第一表（分類）、第二表（アイウエオ順）、第三表（ＡＢＣ順）の三種に整理したものである。その後、千八十五語に修正した案を發表してゐるが、それによると、基礎語は、體、人、住居、着もの、道具、家の道具、食するもの、飲むもの、自然、地、鑛物、植物、動物、數と量、時、形、位置、關係、色、機械、工業、組織、知識、社會と文化、音樂、通信、旅、心、心の働き、行ひ、肉體の働き、自然の働き、状態、性質、一般、雜、名の代り、關係語、繋ぎの語、添への語、語の頭に添へる語、挨拶の四十三に大きく分類されてをり、その「飲むもの」には、汁、乳、茶、酒、コーヒ、ビール、ソーダ、煙草」の八語...

#BasicEnglish
> From 1942 to 1944, working as a colleague of #WilliamEmpson's, he produced a series of broadcasts to India written in #BasicEnglish, trying to use its programmed simplicity, as a Tribune article put it,
'as a sort of corrective to the oratory of statesmen and publicists.'
Only during the last year of the war did he write 'Politics and the #EnglishLanguage,' insisting that the defense of English language has nothing to do with the setting up of a #StandardEnglish.

Position Statement

#AdultESL #BasicEnglish class (that I teach) went well today.
#Spanish class (in which I am a student) is going well, but it is a lot of work. (#FlippedClassroom)
#StateTesting starts next week in my Mon-Fri #k12 job.
I'm going to be exhausted well before the end of May, I'm sure.
Normally, I teach Basic English is the summer, too, but not this summer. Taking the full 2 months off.
Anyone know of a good programming @peertube instance? Could really use some #javascript, #ansible, #radxa cluster(esp with cm5 on the way), #python, #rust or just about any others with good guides for a person who can't handle most documentation bc it's written way too technical for its own good for someone like me. (why these things can't use some #basicenglish so even non English speakers can use them is beyond me)
I think we need a #MinimalistProgram for everything. I've been wondering what the equivalent of #CKOgden's #BasicEnglish might be for #Racket or #Scheme. The #FossAndCrafts Scheme tutorial mentioned #LambdaTheUltimate and reminded me of #DougHoyte's #LetOverLambda book where he quote #GuySteele on primitives. I have Laozi in mind and want to think of #LambdaTheBase or #BasicLambda... With just lambda and an approach like #TheSchemersGuide learning could be in a very minimalist situation.
> This little book is an example of the free use of Basic English.
> Is another step possible which would put the defense of all
countries in the hands of the PEOPLES of the earth?
> Can we make the UN into a UP— a United Peoples’ Govern-
ment?
> Can we put defense in the hands of a World Govern-
ment responsible to and representative of the PEOPLES..

Every Man's English
I.A. Richards
2006.11.13 Monday
Every Man's English
By: Ryotasan
I. A. Richards and Christine Gibson,
while working on Basic English at
Harvard University,
became conscious that
it was not enough for
learners of English language
living in the United States.
He, or she, comes across a
word which is outside of the
850 words listed by Ogden,
every minute.
So Richards made another system,
a step up from Basic.
That is Every Man's English.
Every Man's English
makes use of
looser language rules and
additions to the 850 words.
The list goes like this:
Verbs (names of acts used for operations):
ask, borrow, bring, buy, carry, die, eat, find, forget, grow, hit, hold, lend, lie, like, lose, remember, sell, sit, show, stand, stay, tell, thank, use, want, wear, and can, must and should.
Other words for operations:
behind, above, below, toward, always, both, either, neither, few, just, many, next, often, soon, too, yet.
Words for qualitis:
cool, easy, fresh, heavy, hot, hungry, large, pretty, thirsty.
Names of general things:
age, bottom, ceiling, child, city, corner, ground, home, husband, life, people, piece, shore, tear, wife, world.
Names of things which may be pictured:
chair, cheek, desk, elbow, eyebrow, eyelash, shoulder, and so on.
In addition to them,
the writer may make use of the
"verb" forms of Basic words like
"discuss[ion], knowledge, and thought."
So you may say, in Every Man's English:
"Let's discuss," "I know," and "I think."
Richards said, however,
that the addition might NOT be used freely.
Those words would be used
ONLY when it was necessary.
If you make less use of complex words,
More readers will have a chance to
go through your writings.
For more details,
see their book
Techniques in Language Control, 1974.

See the thing is, though, that Toki Pona does exactly what it's set out to do and is still a real language. Since there seems to be a definition issue, could you please create a list of requirements to be a language? I'm really curious as to how you would define a "real" language
Also if you want to get into political talk, if you think that the internet is the reason that American Democracy isn't functioning then you're just plain wrong. It's been fucked up since its creation and only ever barely functioned.
Anthony McCarthy
Sat Sep 3 13:44:34 50557,
A real language has to enable the people using it to conduct their everyday life and fulfill their reasonable requirements for communication or it is not a real language, it is an inadequate code or a game.
What the inventor of Toki Pona intended it to do was to communicate "very simple" ideas. If you want to conduct your life on the level that Toki Pona would enable you to other people would be entirely justified in thinking you were simple minded. The same would be true if you tried to conduct your life with 120 words of English or French or Esperanto (though about 1200 would serve you extremely well due to its word creation capability) or any other language.
Basic English with its vocabulary of about seven times the size of Toki Pona doesn't work very well but it might just barely count as a real language, Special English from Voice of America is notably more successful though I wouldn't want to have to limit myself to it.
