I have a student who is doing a similar project -- looking at when "terrorist" is used or when the "loner" label or mental health diagnosis predominates -- and comparing usage across different media (tabloid vs. broadsheet) and stories. Reference to the killer
of British MP Jo Cox, for instance, was initially to his mental health and later to terrorism. She is also noticing how "hate crime" is another label. (Jo Cox's family refer to her murder as a hate crime, and not an act of terrorism, for instance.) I don't
have the reference handy, but Rae Moses wrote a short chapter about the language of hate some years ago which students find useful. Anyway -- I'll pass along your email, Sonya, and perhaps the two of them can confer.</p>

<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have an undergrad student taking my Language & Culture class, and she sent me the following query:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri"> "I am really interested in doing research on the ramifications of using the word terrorism and how different actors use that word to designate certain groups as terrorists. Let me know if there is anything more i could look
into or if this not something linguistic anthropology would deal with."</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve pointed her to social media and the news, and will meet with her to discuss other options. But I was wondering if anyone here could recommend any materials that she could read on the topic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
