AntilocutionKenny, Robert Wade; ANTILOCUTIONS in Encyclopedia of Human Services and Diversity (edited By Linwood Cousins), 2014, pp. 94–96. is a form of prejudice in which negative verbal remarks against a person, group, or community, are made in a public or private setting and not addressed directly to the target.  American psychologist Gordon Allport first used this term in his 1954 book, The Nature of Prejudice , Allport, Gordon W (1955). The Nature of Prejudice. Cambridge, US to label the first of the five degrees of antipathy that measure a manifestation of prejudice in a society as antilocution (see also: "Allport's Scale"). Antilocution is similar to the relatively common form of betrayal in which a person "talks behind someone's back", even though antilocution involves an in-group ostracizing an out-group on a biased basis. The use of the term antilocution is overshadowed by the term hate speech, which holds a similar meaning but places no regard on the fact that the out-group is unaware of the discrimination and frequently progresses to other more damaging forms of prejudiced behavior.%DIFDELCMD < %DIFDELCMD < %%% Etymology The term first appeared in 1954 in The Nature of Prejudice, a book written by an American psychologist Gordon Allport. Antilocution is the first stage of Allport's scale, a scale to measure the degree of bias or prejudice in one's society. After antilocution, the subsequent stages of prejudice include avoidance, discrimination, physical attack, and extermination. Antilocution is a compound noun consisting of the word 'locution' and prefix 'anti' which expresses a counterproductive way to employ locution. Description Antilocution is considered to be the least aggressive form of prejudice and is represented by conversations of individuals in a society sharing similar opinions that are often biased, resulting in the negative reputation of the target of antilocution. Although this form of prejudice may be the least aggressive, it can nevertheless be very destructive and life-changing for the subject. Those who employ antilocution may not be aware of it or consider themselves as having been involved in any discriminatory act. Antilocution is perhaps the most common form of discriminative act , which is more commonly referred to as minor gossip or scandal . The subject may feel the need to join in with the flow or comedize it if the antilocution is employed by the majority. This can either create a place for the subject in the pack or lead to the spread of biased information through society which can, in turn, create a negative modification in behaviors toward the subject , thereby significantly putting the subject at a disadvantage both socially and mentally .   Causes, employment, and danger Individuals often engage in prejudicial conversation when they feel threatened and it is frequently based on misperceptions and stereotyping of the subject. Antilocution is often related to the fact that the subject is viewed as an anomaly to the group, for example, the subject maybe a new member thus no one actually knows the subject so they judge the subject based on their perceptions and stereotyping, which often involve racism, ethnic, or gender. Most individuals engaged in this type of behavior will most likely deny that their behavior is prejudicial in any way, and often indicate this as a matter of expressing their own opinions. This kind of treatment to antilocution is very dangerous on its own as it leads to widespread discriminative acts toward the subject as individuals feel little to no guilt in doing so. Facts are often needed to contradict misinformation and create a positive influence in the society toward the subject, or else opinions will continue to multiply and lead to further misconceptions, which can eventually lead to more serious forms of prejudice and discrimination and will harm the subject socially, mentally, and even physically if the problem worsens to a certain degree.
