Analysis on Deeply Derogatory Terms in the Chinese Language—Taking Man Yi as an Example
Abstract
One of the many types of concurrent meanings of words is the positive and negative concomitant meaning of words, which represents the positive and negative attitudes of the linguistic community about the accompanying rational meanings of words. There are numerous sorts of concomitant meanings of words. The notion of extremely derogatory terms proposed by Tirrell gave rise to a brand new category of words as well as an innovative approach to the study of slurs. The paper does a literature analysis to investigate deeply derogatory terms in Chinese, and then it uses that information to examine the Chinese word "Man Yi". It solves the problem of the theory's inability to adapt to China's circumstances.
Keywords: deeply derogatory term; Chinese language; slurs; social embedding
