Trends In Pejoration Of Female-Related Terms Of Abuse In English, Hannah Nelson
EURēCA: Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement
It has been widely noted by linguistics that the process of pejoration, a specific type of semantic change, is very common in words specific to women. Words like bitch, cunt, harlot, and slut all have neutral origins and convoluted histories that even made some of these words specific to men.
