The Language in Science Fiction and Fantasy

- The Question of Style

About The Language in Science Fiction and Fantasy

A stylistic, pragmatic and sociolinguistic analysis of the language of sci-fi and fantasy. It challenges two widely held but poorly substantiated beliefs circulating about science fiction and fantasy - that they are: written in plain and unremarkable prose; and apt to present characters that are flat types rather than fully realised individuals.
