18. The Wikipedia states that the term doublespeak comes from George Orwell�s novel, 1984. However the term did not actually appear in the book. Instead the term doublethink and newspeak was used. Later they were combined to create this term. (2005, � 2).
19. Lutz (1989) breaks doublespeak into 4 categories. The 1st is euphemisms. The 2nd is jargon, which is language attributed to a particular group of people. The 3rd is �gobbledygook� or �bureaucratese�. This is a way to overwhelm the listening and confuse them. The 4th is inflated language. This is where things are over inflated to give the idea that something is bigger or better that it is
in reality. (pg 2-7).
20. Lutz (1989) states that euphemisms are not considered doublespeak if they are meant to safe another�s feelings. However, they become doublespeak when they are meant to mislead. The terms �restroom� is not considered doublespeak because everyone understand that it is not a place to rest. However, L2 learners might not understand this term. So does it then become doublespeak? (pg. 2).
