@kklevine I'm a once upon a time undergrad Linguistics and English major now working in active transportation policy so I definitely think about how people and actions are described and how that frames assumptions and perceptions. In the same vein as this study, Australian research found aggro drivers perceive cyclists as less than human: usa.streetsblog.org/2019/03/28 citing sciencedirect.com/science/arti.

Usage disconnect/conflict in transportation research: prevalent use of "accessibility" to measure whether there are lots of places to get to, not whether the routes to the places are ADA-accessible.
