This process can be called SEMANTIC SHIFT (or drift)

Linguistic relativism instead proposes that the way we perceive the world plays a part in how language is structured. ]]> 2023-02-21 13:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489699028 chilloutnsmile https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489703038 LINGUISTICS RELATIVISM holds a weaker position than DERTERMINISM. The deterministic view of relationship between language and thought contends that the shape of the language determines how its speaker perceive and experience the world. ]]> 2023-02-21 13:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489703038 chilloutnsmile https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489708946 The process of RECLAIMING what was previously a negative term and redefining it in a positive ways was a strategy for dealing with perceived inequalities. ]]> 2023-02-21 13:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489708946 chilloutnsmile https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489714443 The study of people's subjectively held beliefs about different dialects or linguistic varieties.

Experimental work in this framework suggests that people readily see contrasts between groups in terms of competition, and seek to find means of favouring the co-members of the group they identify with over others. ]]> 2023-02-21 13:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489723465 chilloutnsmile https://padlet.com/chilloutnsmile/hi8afetw1e50v0xn/wish/2489730078 The process by which speakers attune or adapt their linguistic behaviour in light of their interlocutors' behaviour and their attitudes towards their interlocutors (may be a conscious or unconscious process).
