Description
Summary:The current paper is the result of the research project called “Discriminatory and Anti-Discriminatory Languages in Discursive Narratives in Children”. The purpose was to analyze discriminatory and anti-discriminatory language expressed in the discursive narratives of children after reading children’s stories that alluded to sexual, ethnic and gender diversity. This research was based on a qualitative paradigm with a hermeneutical approach, which allowed us to establish as a main conclusion that these languages are expressed so as to modify, qualify, approve and disapprove. This shows the children’s way of thinking through stereotypes, prejudices, imaginaries and social representations which reflect upon the ways children accept or reject the intrinsic differences of every human being.
