• A type of linguistic prescription which puts a person before a diagnosis, describing what condition a person “has” rather than asserting what a person “is.” PFL is intended to avoid marginalization or dehumanization when discussing people with a chronic illness or disability. It can be seen as a type of disability etiquette, but person-first language can also be more generally applied to any group that would otherwise be defined or mentally categorized by a condition or trait (for example, race, age, or appearance). ← Wikipedia
