Contribution to the Theory of Linguistics (1972) Whether language is starved to death by Orwell’s Newspeak or choked by the structural madness of Havel’s Ptydepe and Chorukor, the result is a state-owned dialect engineered to enforce ideological conformity. Orwell’s system operates subtractively by systematically deleting vocabulary to make dissident thoughts impossible to formulate. Conversely, in his play “The Memorandum” (1965), Václav Havel introduces Ptydepe, an artificial language that works through hyper-inflation, employing a rigid mathematical algorithm where the most common concepts receive the shortest words and rare concepts receive long, unrepeatable letter combinations to eliminate human emotion or error. When Ptydepe proves too complex for daily operations, it is replaced by Chorukor, which reverses this logic by maximizing word similarities under the bureaucratic assumption that making a minor situational error is better than pausing operation. This systematic detachment of institutional speech from physical reality directly informs Filip Bajon’s “A Contribution to the Theory of Linguistics”, where a juvenile narrator acts as a literal conduit for this type of structural jargon, using rigid, state-approved administrative formulas to describe her family's housing allocation process.
