In as far as they are used to express emotional attitudes, slurs are, thus, a kind of expressive words. This collection provides different hypotheses regarding the way in which the expressive import of slurs and other related expressive words is semantically encoded in the grammar and how their meaning impacts other aspects related to their use in different practices of linguistic communication. These linguistic practices are usually, but not always, related to segregation and discrimination of particular human groups. Therefore, any contribution to the theory of slur meaning is, directly or indirectly, also a contribution to a better understanding of those practices and to finding the best way to eradicate them.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmContributor: Eleonora Orlando (Contributions by), Nicolás Lo Guercio (Contributions by), Andrés Saab (Edited by), Ludovic Soutif (Contributions by), Ramiro Caso (Contributions by), Stefano Predelli (Contributions by), Alfonso Losada (Contributions by), Carlos Márquez (Contributions by), Andrés Saab (Contributions by), Justina Díaz Legaspe (Contributions by), Eleonora Orlando (Edited by)Genre: Language & ReferenceBook Series: Philosophy of Language: Connections and PerspectivesItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 345gAuthor: Andrés SaabRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
