高上 英検１級 語彙対策 ①derogatory
普段CHATGPTと沢山会話している私。高上代表佐藤一行。たくさんの会話の中から英検１級対策になりそうなものを抜粋していきます。
Please define the word derogatory.
The word “derogatory” refers to a statement or term that demeans, belittles, or disparages someone or something.
It’s used to indicate disapproval, contempt, or prejudice and aims to hurt the reputation or feelings of the person, group, or concept being described. Derogatory language is often intended to marginalize or stereotype people based on characteristics such as their race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, or other defining attributes. Usage of derogatory terms can be considered disrespectful, offensive, or discriminatory.
Is the word derogatory one type of expletive?
The term “derogatory” is not inherently an expletive, although derogatory language can sometimes include expletives.
- Derogatory: As mentioned earlier, “derogatory” refers to a word, phrase, or statement that demeans, belittles, or disparages someone or something.
- Expletive: An expletive is a word or phrase that is generally considered to be strong, vulgar, or offensive, often used for emphasis or to express emotion. Expletives are not necessarily derogatory, although they can be used in a derogatory manner.
In summary, while derogatory terms and expletives can sometimes overlap, they are not synonymous. A derogatory term aims to demean or belittle, whereas an expletive serves as a strong or emphatic expression and may or may not be aimed at demeaning or belittling someone or something.
