OGDEN, INSCRIBED "TO ROSIE FROM MOTHER, JANUARY 23TH, 1899":.WITH MULTIPLE STAMPS "RBL" BACK FRONTISPIECE PAGE. CHARLES KAY OGDEN WAS AN INVENTOR OF AN 850-WORD GLOBAL LANGUAGE KNOWN AS "BASIC ENGLISH"--A LANGUAGE WITH NO VERBS !, INSTITUTED AS A LAST-DITCH COLONIAL-IMPERIALIST EFFORT TO ENFORCE LINGUISTIC HEGEMONY WORLDWIDE BY A DECLINING BRITISH EMPIRE. HE WAS ALSO A FAMOUS WAR PSYCHOLOGIST, LINGUIST, LOGICIAN, SYMBOLIST, EDITOR OF THE APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY JOURNAL "PSYCHE" FROM 1920-1952, BORN 1889, DIED 1957.From Wikipedia: Ogden obtained the M.A. in 1915. He founded the Cambridge Magazine in 1912 while still an undergraduate, editing it until it ceased publication in 1922. It evolved into an organ of international comment on politics and the war. A survey of the foreign press filled more than half of each issue, and its circulation rose to over 20,000. Ogden often used the pseudonym Adelyne More in his journalism. The magazine also included literary contributions by Siegfried Sassoon, John Masefield, Thomas Hardy, George Bernard Shaw, and Arnold Bennett.Language and philosophy Although neither a trained philosopher nor an academic, Ogden had a material impact on British academic philosophy. He helped translate Wittgenstein's Tractatus. His most durable work is his monograph (with I. A. Richards) titled The Meaning of Meaning (1923), which went into many editions. This book, which straddled the boundaries among linguistics, literary analysis, and philosophy, drew attention to the significs of Victoria Lady Welby (whose disciple Ogden was) and the semiotics of Charles Peirce. A major step in the "linguistic turn" of 20th century British philosophy, The Meaning of Meaning set out principles for understanding the function of language and described the so-called semantic triangle. It included the inimitable phrase "The gostak distims the doshes." [edit]Entrepreneur Ogden ran a network of bookshops in Cambridge, also selling art by the Bloomsbury Group. One such bookshop was looted on the day World War I ended.[1] He was a voracious book collector; his incunabula, manuscripts, papers of the Brougham family, and Jeremy Bentham collection were purchased by University College London. The balance of his enormous personal library was purchased after his death by the University of California - Los Angeles---50.00.
