The language used in The Handmaid’s Tale is essentially the language the reader is familiar with at an extent; such as the Biblical Stories and references that the reader may know but neologisms are also introduced as words society does not use.
Neologisms used in The Handmaid’s Tale would be ‘Econowife’ and ‘Birthmobile’, although the words themselves make somewhat sense as they contain words we are familiar with like Wife and Birth and Mobile, but it is not likely for todays society to use. The power of the language will continue to be consistent through the rest of the novel in the sense that, words we are not familiar with represent the power of the people who are in charge, to represent a sense of authority and the unknown.
