Abstract:
Dysphemisms for Ethnicity: Cautionary Labelling of Disparaging Ethnic Words in Some Romanian Dictionaries. The present article is an attempt to investigate the policies of inclusion and labelling of derogatory ethnic words in nine major dictionaries of Romanian. After providing a brief overview of recent theories of ethnicity and identity, and of some controversies over definitions of ethnic words in Romanian dictionaries, I shall examine the treatment of 40 terms of ethnic derision and abuse. I thus aim to discuss and assess the extent to which disparaging ethnic labels are properly marked for negative attitude in Romanian dictionaries. Key words: derogatory ethnic labels, monolingual dictionaries, usage labels, labelling policy.
