Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Use of language and power in combined form as a ‘’discourse ‘’ against PLWH (people living With HIV/AIDS) and its contentious socio-linguistics and socio-political apprehended have received remarkably little bit of attention existing literature. This article seeks to find out the role of stigmatized language and its power within real life context, particularly forms of expression in several genres and contexts. However , evidence of the HIV/AIDS (Spoiled Identity) was accompanied by the signs and symbols through use of language and power discourse that would be mechanism which were being used and applied as an instrumental tools ( consciously and unconsciously) to manage the social heteronormitivity . Indeed, stigmatized language ironically highlights in an unintended manner the social difference between ‘Normal’ and ‘Abnormal/ sick / Deviant ‘’ person. Thus, the socio-linguistic approach suggest itself that account for diverse context dependent critical and social practices.
