  Pejorative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The adjective pejorative is synonymous with derogatory and dyslogistic (noun: dyslogism) (antonyms: meliorative, eulogistic, noun eulogism).
Although pejorative (adj.) means much the same thing as disparaging, the latter term may be applied to a look or gesture as well as to spoken language— in the evocative language of gesture, it may not be easy to distinguish a disparaging gesture from a dismissive or merely skeptical one, however.
Pejorative expressions that are not dyslogisms may also be used in a non-pejorative way, however, and determining the intent of the speaker is problematic— as with any implied meaning.

In other cases, some groups have attempted to reclaim formerly offensive words applied against them, with limited success: when usage of a term like nigger, redneck, "white cracker", dyke, queer, faggot, tranny, pervert, Kraut, or cripple by someone outside the group is still considered offensive, that is a sign this process of neutralization is uncompleted.

 The Two Marxisms, Ch 2 - "Marxism as Science and Critique," by Alvin W. Gouldner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In short, critique rejects science as the ultimate form of rationality.
For Critical Marxism, "positivism" is a dyslogism referring to any commitment to science mistakenly presenting itself as autonomous or self- grounded, or which fails systematically to raise questions about this grounding.
Scientific Marxism seeks to re-contextualize the topics and objects it studies and is thus drawn to versions of "systems analysis." Critical Marxism (as I will develop in a later volume) additionally seeks to re-contextualize the very intellectual resources with which it grapples with these topics.
