This site is the companion site to our blog on invented languages, corpus linguistics and translation studies, Ponying the Slovos (Nadsat for ‘understanding the words’). The pages here provide download links to lists of the different categories of Nadsat, the invented language created by Anthony Burgess in his book A Clockwork Orange.

These categories are described in more detail in our forthcoming paper ‘The language of A Clockwork Orange: A corpus stylistic approach to Nadsat’ in the journal Language and Literature. A less technical account can be found in the May 2017 issue of the popular linguistics magazine Babel (click to follow link).
