The aim of this paper is to examine information regarding insane people and style of word use in The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals.
Some of the observations about 19th century patients are not consistent with current observations. These discrepancies may have arisen due to different management practices. Some of these observations may have been or be mistaken. The style of words would be considered discriminatory by current standards. Darwin and his informants were of the highest moral and ethical caliber. However, attitudes and the style of word use has changed over the last century.
本文旨在研究《人类和动物的表情》中有关精神错乱者的信息及用词风格。
一些关于19世纪患者的观察结果与当前的观察结果不一致。这些差异可能是由于不同的管理方式所致。其中一些观察结果可能曾经有误或现在有误。按照当前标准，这些用词风格会被视为带有歧视性。达尔文及其提供信息者具有极高的道德和伦理水准。然而，在过去的一个世纪里，态度和用词风格已经发生了变化。
