Person-first language, to refer to a person with autism, has been dominant within peer-reviewed literature; however, there are autistic people who prefer identity-first language. This is a shift from the language championed within mental health nursing; therefore it is important to understand the meaning and actions within identifying language. This analysis of 29,606 words of Twitter discourse explored the political struggle between the modes of language. Differences within the conceptualisation of autism and disability underpinned varied subject positions and the rearticulation of autism and expertise was identified. Contextually driven adoption of identifying language requires awareness of the potential benefits and consequences.
以人为主语的语言,是指自闭症患者,在同行评议文献中占主导地位;然而,也有一些自闭症患者更喜欢以自我认同为主语的语言。这与精神健康护理领域所倡导的语言模式发生了转变;因此,了解认同语言中的意义和行为非常重要。本研究对 29606 个单词的推特语料进行了分析,探讨了语言模式之间的政治斗争。自闭症和残疾概念化上的差异,构成了不同的主体立场,并重新定义了自闭症和专业知识。语境驱动的认同语言的采用需要意识到其潜在的好处和后果。
