a step up from Basic. That is Every Man's English.

From 1932, C.K. Ogden's little book _Opposition: A Linguistic and Psychological Analysis_ with an introduction by I.A. Richards. I keep thinking I should give the diagrams some thought and attention. It will be good to work toward an understanding of the diagrams and notation on page 16 of the book.

> 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...

Bill Templer keeps me focussed on simplicity:

.> This is a paper about the need for a fundamental rethink of what we are doing. Especially for the many of us teaching English as an international language (EIL) to non-elite students on the myriad peripheries. It argues for flexibly re-exploring in depth the simplified auxiliary language BASIC developed by C.K. Ogden, I.A. Richards and their associates, along with Richard's amplified version Every Man's English, attuned to the needs of the mass teaching and learning of EIL today.

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.
