Meeting Description:

Description
Slurring Terms Across Languages (STAL-24) is an international and
interdisciplinary workshop whose primary aim is to gather work on
slurs from languages that have been seldom discussed in the recent
philosophical and semantic literature, and in particular, from sign
languages and non-Indo-European languages. It aims to bring to light
new empirical data and uncover novel interesting phenomena that may
have the potential to challenge current theories of slurs. We search
for theoretical and empirical studies of slurs from such languages,
comparisons with English slurs, as well as wider cross-linguistic
approaches. We also welcome developments of extant theories in
application to the new data or previously neglected phenomena.
