Inglês básico

Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
(Redirecionado de Simple english)

O inglês básico (em inglês, Basic English) é uma simplificação da língua inglesa construída a partir da análise de seu vocabulário e de sua gramática.

Seu vocabulário é composto por 850 palavras selecionadas pelo seu criador, Charles Kay Ogden, que descreve o idioma no livro Basic English: A General Introduction with Rules and Grammar, publicado em 1930.

Seu vocabulário é utilizado como guia para a edição de artigos na wikipédia em inglês simplificado.

A gramática do inglês básico é similar à do inglês padrão, porém com regras mais simples e pouquíssimas exceções. Nem todos os possíveis sentidos de cada palavra são permitidos, a fim de evitar ambigüidades e manter a simplicidade da língua. As regras de Ogden a seguir guiam o uso das 850 palavras oficiais garantindo um uso amplo, expressivo e fluente da língua.[1]

  1. O plural é geralmente feito com a adição de "s", "es" ou "ies" ao fim dos substantivos.
  2. Os verbos geralmente têm 4 terminações: as terminações substantivas "er" e "ing" e as adjetivas "ing" e "ed".
  3. A formação de advérbios é feita geralmente com a adição do sufixo "ly" ao fim dos adjetivos.
  4. As relações comparativas são demonstradas com o uso de "more" ou "most" ou por sufixação com "er" ou "est".
  5. Os antônimos são geralmente formados pelo acréscimo do prefixo "un" à palavra.
  6. As perguntas que podem ser respondidas por "yes" ou "no" são iniciadas por "do" ou feitas por inversão da ordem das palavras.
  7. Pronomes e operadores/verbos são flexionados segundo o inglês padrão.
  8. Palavras podem ser formadas por composição ao combinar dois substantivos (por exemplo, milkman) ou um substantivo e uma direção ( como em sundown).
  9. Unidades de medida, números, moedas, meses, dias, anos, horas, termos internacionais e afins devem seguir o uso do inglês padrão.
  10. É permitido o uso de palavras de termos técnicos e científicos, quando necessários no contexto.
