Charles Kay Ogden was an English linguist, #philosopher, and #writer. Described as a polymath but also an eccentric and outsider, he took part in many ventures related to literature, politics, the arts and philosophy, having a broad effect particularly as an editor, translator, and activist on behalf of a reformed version of the English language. He is typically defined as a linguistic psychologist, and is now mostly remembered as the inventor and propagator of Basic English. He co-authored @The Meaning of Meaning with @Ivor Armstrong Richards.
