The 300-word list was proposed by the Simplified Spelling Board,which was financially supported by Andrew Carnegie and was chaired by Brander Matthews. They insisted that simplified spellings would improve the orthography of English, save substantial time and efforts of children when they learn,and make English the dominant language of the world. Though the Executive Order was expected to help promote the spelling reform movement, it sparked a backlash from home and abroad,and TR had no choice but to withdraw his order. While the sequence of events is prone to be taken as a political fiasco due to what were considered to be the whimsical thoughts of the President, TR's decision is related to the fact that he had a considerable interest in the cultural independence of the United States for which language issues occupied its central place. It is helpful to try to understand his efforts to simplify spelling as part of his pursuit of Americanism, which was an important issue for the last half of TR's life.}, pages = {17--38}, title = {セオドア・ローズヴェルトの綴り字改革 : 遮られたアメリカ語の追求}, volume = {49}, year = {2014}, yomi = {スズキ, ケンジ} }
