comment on style/language

Lewis indicates Ransom is a philologist, one who loves to study languages. It is obvious Lewis gets the idea from his own personality. He uses many difficult words, and some created by himself. The language is very much a part of the story. Some of the words are obscure, but so pure to the word origin as to make the word itself a beauty to behold. Some of these words and their apparent meanings are: photosome (visible body), megalomania (big headed), philological (from the view of a love of language), philologist (one who loves language), motive power (power that moves Ransom to the planet), incurable incredibility (unceasing disbelief), illimitably (without limit). These are but a few of the strange, often made-up, words Ransom uses.
