Abstract
With the development of Cyberspeak, arguments and concerns about it have never stopped. One way to understand the impact and features of Cyberspeak is to consider another language ,Newspeak( that is predicated on elimination and abbreviation) , found in George Orwell's futuristic novel ,1984. This paper aims to view Cyberspeak in a more objective perspective by a thorough comparison between Newspeak and Cyberspeak. Also, a reason analysis will be given to the existing problems of Cyberspeak. The paper was wrote to pay tribute to spectacular foresight of Orwell about 70 years ago and find referential implication for the evolution Cyberspeak and the whole society.
