Notes on language
Discussion of translation, ruminating that a full translation of words and concepts would make a story that isn't sci-fi at all. Does that make sense? “Earth” & such.
I do want to play with language reforms so Planet B may use math symbols in sentences. (That alone is illogical in terms of translation bc their symbols won't be the same. But maybe I can explain that their symbols aren't on our typewriter m ((typewriters?!)) so I am using our equivalents.)
= + % and more And unisex pronouns? Thinking about pronouns that express closeness. Near one and far one. Physical / emotional. And a discussion on the division in their society these pronouns cause. How all should be near ones.
