Everything starts with language: A contribution to (regional) disability studies

Political correctness has permeated many spheres of social life in the first decades of the 21st century. We have been witnesses to numerous disputes, misunderstandings, and discussions on the topic of its role, and where the boundaries for something to be non-discriminatory and acceptable for a certain group of people are. Discussions about political correctness are present in the media, on the internet, on social networks, in the sphere of culture, art, politics, public life, in the discourse of academic research, at the University, in schools.... To enter into any consideration of political correctness in the context of disability studies, which by its very nature refers to the language of disability, it is necessary to start from the definition of the term itself.
