Violence has a linguistic dimension that's often overlooked.

A study in the Turkish Journal of Hygiene and Experimental Biology found a clear link between physical violence and "discursive violence" — the harmful language of influential figures, which followers apply more aggressively. Three factors are at play: the perpetrator, the victim, and the cause of violence. Media and law focus on the first two; the hidden driver is the third.

Family, social and psychological support mechanisms, peers, education, and media all matter. But respectful language isn't just politeness — it can be an evidence-based violence prevention strategy.
