Politically Correct Language and a Brief Analysis of the Word Homosexual
Original language description
Political correctness is a highly debated and controversial topic and the word homosexual is one of the most sensitive, potentially politically incorrect words still in use. This paper analyses the use of the word homosexual in American English as well as in other English variants. A corpus analysis is carried out using data from two different corpora, The Corpus of Contemporary American English and The Global Web-Based English Corpus. The analysis focuses on development and changes in word frequency, and differences in various areas of language as well as English variants.
