Part 1 is largely an aesthetic argument for why AE dislikes Hoban's choices and wishes the whole book had been written differently, but part 2 eventually takes a more objective approach and breaks down the differences from "Standard English" in linguistic terms ("back vowels", "reduction of posttonic o", etc.).

-: A scholarly essay by R.D. Mullen, posthumously published in ''Science Fiction Studies'' #82 in 2000. This is nominally an argument about whether the novel is a good example of the science fiction genre, and whether Hoban's world-building decisions make sense—but Mullen also discusses the linguistic aspect very thoroughly, breaking down elements of spelling, syntax, etc. in detail. The page also includes responses from other ''Science Fiction Studies'' authors with some quibbles about Mullen's analysis.
