Abstract
Anthony Burgess, the writer of the novel ‘A Clockwork Orange’ created a new, artificial, language for his book. After watching the movie ‘A Clockwork Orange’ directed by Stanley Kubric, I wanted to read the book, the original story behind the movie. As I turned the first page, I realised that I didn’t understand a word in these paragraphs. After some research I learned about the existence of ‘Nadsat’ and I wondered why someone would work to create a brand new language, just to be used in one book. I found out, later on, that it had several purposes to it and I was mesmerised. This research inspired me to write my extended essay. Even though it was a fun subject to research and write about, at the same time it was quite difficult in the sense that it was written from the point of view of a literature person and thus it seemed to lack the perspective of a linguist.
