This was developed into the language " E-Prime " by D. David Bourland, Jr. 15 years after his death ( E-Prime a form of the English language in which the verb " to be " does not appear in any of its forms ; for example, the sentence " the movie was good " could translate into E-Prime as " I liked the movie ", thereby distinguishing opinion from fact ).

E-Prime ( short for English-Prime, sometimes denoted E ′) is a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be.

* E-Prime likewise prohibits contractions of to be found in nonstandard dialects of English, such as the following:

The following short examples illustrate some of the ways that standard English writing can be modified to use E-Prime.

* E-Prime, a modified English syntax and vocabulary lacking all forms of " to be "

According to Ellis, REBT has favored E-Prime more than any other form of psychotherapy and I think it is still the only form of therapy that has some of its main books written in E-Prime.

Thus they do not resolve the ambiguities that E-Prime seeks to alleviate without an additional rule, such as that all sentences must contain a verb.

By encouraging clarity on the active subject that " does " or wants or believes something, and disallowing passive constructions about the state of affairs ( a common use of " to be "), E-Prime makes it more difficult to hide assumptions in statements about The Other or equivalent constructions such as " they " or " most people " or " the public " or " the taxpayer ".

E-Prime disallows forms of statement such as " they say X is Y " or " most people are into Z " or " the taxpayer is angry " while allowing statements such as " a clear majority of people say X always coexists with Y " or " most people approve of Z " or " the taxpayer doesn't like measure Q " or " lots of taxpayers express anger about Q ".

* Constructed languages ( such as E-Prime ) or " reconstructed " extinct dialects.

E-Prime does not allow the conjugations of to be — be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being — the archaic forms of to be ( e. g. art, wast, wert ), or the contractions of to be —' s ,'m ,'re ( e. g. I'm, he's, she's, they're ).

Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing.

The E-Prime versions communicate the speaker's experience rather than judgment, making it harder for the writer or reader to confuse opinion with fact.

D. David Bourland, Jr. ( 1928 – 2000 ) proposed E-Prime as an addition to Alfred Korzybski's general semantics some years after Korzybski's death in 1950.

For the second, More E-Prime: To Be or Not II: 1994, Concord, California: International Society for General Semantics, he added a third editor, Jeremy Klein.

Bourland and Johnston edited a third book E-Prime III: a third anthology: 1997, Concord, California: International Society for General Semantics.

Bourland and other advocates also suggest that use of E-Prime leads to a less dogmatic style of language that reduces the possibility of misunderstanding and / or conflict.

Rewilding-advocate Urban Scout wrote his book " Rewild or Die " entirely in E-Prime.

E-Prime also discourages broad assertions crossing boundaries between past, present and future.

Although this took place before the invention of E-Prime, it does show the application of general semantics to psychotherapy.

Basic English, also known as Simple English, is an English-based controlled language created ( in essence as a simplified subset of English ) by linguist and philosopher Charles Kay Ogden as an international auxiliary language, and as an aid for teaching English as a Second Language.
