ASYMMETRY OF HIERARCHICAL SOCIAL ROLES BY IDENTIFYING THE FEATURES OF ITS REFLECTION IN THE SEMANTIC STRUCTURE OF WORDS
Keywords:
Hierarchical social roles, semantic structure, language and society, social asymmetry, power dynamics, authority and subordination, linguistic analysis, societal inequalities
Abstract
This article examines the asymmetry of hierarchical social roles through the lens of linguistic analysis, focusing on their reflection in the semantic structure of words. Language serves as a powerful medium to encode and perpetuate societal hierarchies, revealing the inherent disparities in power, authority, and subordination within various social contexts. By studying the semantic features of words associated with these roles, the research sheds light on how language mirrors and reinforces social inequalities.
