  1. The definition of "basic english" is: a list of words that, if they can't directly express an idea, they can be strung together to express an idea, like "water thing to sit in to clean self" for "bath", etc. This is covered well in Bodmer's "The loom of language", the hypothesis of which is that if you are going to learn a language, you might as well learn the languages closely related to it at the same time, like the Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, etc).
