The Oxford English Dictionary Science Fiction Site, a resource for SF vocabulary;
JBR Home Page, which links to a number of essays on various SF-related topics, including discussions of language construction in SF, spelling reform, and a possible evolutionary line for English over the next thousand years or so.
