    o Linguistic Representations of Black Woman Beauty in Print and Social Media in the United States and Ecuadorl Diamond C. J. Ray A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics Bryn Mawr College December 2017 Abstract Language has the power to unite and uplift societies as well as divide and exclude. In this investigation I identify how language is incessantly utilized as a tool to exclude, erase, and publicly shame Black women within the African diaspora, and specifically in the United States and Ecuador. I analyze how Monica Chal:i and Deshauna Barber winning their national beauty pageants in their respective countries condemned them to being socially rejected and publicly misrecognized because of the intersection of their Black womanhood. 12 tweets, 22 Facebook comments, two semi structured interviews, eight newspaper excerpts and participant observations are de constructed to demonstrate how language perpetuates racism and is 1 I would like to express my sincere gratitude for my tliesis advisor and Mellon Mays mentor Prof. Brook D. Lilleliaugen for lier continuous support and guidance. Besides my advisor I would like to tliank Prof. Emily Gasser and Prof. Jane Cliandlee for providing me witli even more feedback and support. I also want to thank my fellow Linguistics peers for tlieir feedback and advice. I am extremely grateful for the funding I received from tlie Mellon Mays Fellowship. Tlie interviews collected would not liave been conducted witliout IRE approval. 1 strategically evoked in the process of "othering". Furthennore, the data suggests that through language Black women are delineated into a Third Space, in which they are policed and consumed by others in a manner that racializes them as their bodies are actively objectified.
