Mayieka
Person-first language is a type of linguistic prescription which puts a person before a diagnosis, describing what a person ‘’has’’ rather than asserting what a person ‘’is.”
It is intended to avoid marginalization or dehumanization (either consciously or subconsciously ) when discussing people with a chronic illness or disability.
