Figure 3.2 Ogden’s panopticon
Ogden 1932a: 183.
Each of the concentric discs of Ogden’s panopticon contains all words of one part of speech, and by rotating them it is possible to make grammatically correct sentences. Grammar has become so natural that it is amenable to mechanical manipulation using the simplest of human inventions, the wheel. Ever the technocrat, Ogden (1931: 32) saw ‘modern mechanical aids’ as crucial to Basic’s success: ‘The teaching of grammar without the use of modern mechanical aids cannot long survive, and Basic English has been designed to profit by the visual and mechanical factor in a very high degree’ (see also Ogden 1929a: 6–7, 1930a: 8).
