- W2586323652 abstract "Political correctness (PC) is an influential movement that started in the 1980s. It started with a few voices but grew in popularity until it became an unwritten law in society. This paper is intended as an investigation of the use of politically correct language in students’ daily life and their perception of the PC phenomenon at a U.S. Midwestern university. In this study, there are 21 participants (14 native speakers of English and 7 non-natives) who were familiar with the concept of political correctness. The purpose of this study is to examine the following research questions: 1. Is there any difference in the use of PC language between native speakers of English and nonnative speakers? 2. Do gender, age, race/ethnicity play an important role in using PC language? 3. What types of euphemism are most frequently used, in what kinds of situations? How about the least frequently used ones? 4. What opinions will the participants have about the influence of PC on other people, the language, and the society in general? Is PC a temporal phenomenon or will it continue to develop in the future? Some results are obtained from the data analysis. First of all, native speakers of English use PC words less than nonnative speakers, which was mainly caused by the white participants having used the least PC among all racial groups. Second, gender, age, and race/ethnicity are social variables that exert great influence on the use of PC language. Females use PC more frequently than males; the young generation shows greater use than the older; and Whites use PC less than other ethnic groups. Third, the most frequently used PC words are associated with race/ethnicity and taboo while the least used types are not related to any specific racial group. Finally, most participants believe that PC is not a temporal phenomenon but will continue to develop and grow." @default.
