Language in Discourse
On racist frameworks, the power of language and our own role in this
In response to an increasing number of racist attacks, the call for a tougher stance against racist language and behaviour is growing. How this could look like specifically is often not mentioned though. Partly because of a lack of precise action strategies, partly because of a lack of a scientific theoretical framework. This text first places racist language in a psycho- and neurolinguistic context and subsequently provides recommendations for action.
