enoch_exe_incIt’s not a hyperbole. In the actual novel, the Newspeak dictionary wasn’t just a list of words to replace Oldspeak, it was designed to limit the vocabulary of the populace so that thoughts contrary to the ideology of the Party would become far more difficult to express. Consequently, the Newspeak dictionary would become thinner with each passing edition until it contained only the bare minimum of words required for human communication.
