Ethnophaulisms, ethnonyms, and antilocutions are distinct but related linguistic forms of group reference

Evidence

Ethnophaulisms (Roback, 1944; from the Greek roots meaning “a national group” and “to disparage”) are the words used as ethnic slurs to refer to outgroups in hate speech. These are distinct from ethnonyms (Levin & Potapov, 1964; from the Greek roots meaning “a national group” and “name”), which are the names an ingroup gives itself to distinguish itself from outgroups. Antilocutions (Allport, 1954/1979; from the Greek root meaning “against” and the Latin root meaning “to speak”) are prejudiced speech, which include ethnophaulisms as well as other linguistic factors in hostile prejudice, such as derogatory outgroup jokes. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1256
