Abstract

In the present study, we investigated the responses provided by Bosnia and Herzegovina’s male and female respondents in regards to their usage of politically correct English language across various categories. Those categories include gender, disability, age, work, socioeconomic status, and race terminology. We hypothesized that significant differences would be present between respondents based on their gender. As the results suggest, female respondents were more inclined to use politically correct terminology in comparison to their counterparts, male participants. The distinctions were found to be present in all categories but mostly related to gender, where female respondents showed a higher preference for politically correct English language, while male respondents showed a tendency to select less politically correct English language terminology. Furthermore, categories related to disability and race showed mixed results to some extent. Therefore, we conclude that the findings point towards the importance of comprehending gender-specific tendencies when it comes to the adoption and usage of politically correct English language, as such differences can have significant influence on inclusion and communication within varied social and formal contexts.
