Dale Bagshaw observes that "[l]anguage is laden with social values and both carries ideas and shapes ideas." (312) Dominant discourses in Western societies tend to be Anglo-centric, as well as "agist, racist, heterosexist and homophobic." (313) Moreover, "throughout recorded history such discourses have been used by legal and social science professionals to justify categorising people as '(un)deserving,' '(ab)normal,' '(dys)functional,' '(in)competent,' '(mal)adjusted,' 'subversive,' 'delinquent' or 'deviant."' (314) When analyzing discourses, Bagshaw notes that "[i]t is therefore crucial to identify the relationship between what is said and who said it." (315) With this understanding, discourse analysis may reveal sexist or racist assumptions.
