Project Abstract
<p> This project seeks to investigate the role of language in the construction and perpetuation of social hierarchies. It aims to analyze how linguistic choices, discourse patterns, and communicative behaviors contribute to the reinforcement of power dynamics and social inequalities. By examining language use in various social contexts, this study aims to uncover the ways in which language both reflects and shapes hierarchical structures. <br></p>Project Overview
