"Alphas are so conditioned that they do no thave to be infantile in their emotional behaviour." -pg. 98
The quote above includes a few examples of the vernacular of the book. The first example is the 'Alpha'. There are different 'groups' of people in this world-- Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. Alphas and Betas are highly respected and look down at the other groups. The purpose of using this language is to prove to the reader the system of hierarchy. The other example of the vernacular is 'behaviour'. The simple spelling of the word proves to the reader that the setting is in England and uses old-time English. It is effective because the spelling of certain words lets the reader know that this world still uses English that they use today in England.
