ABSTRACT
In this talk, I will present some early results of an empirical study
on the meaning of slurs conducted with Rodrigo Diaz (IFS-CSIC,
Madrid). Many hypotheses have been proposed in the philosophical and
linguistic literature about the meaning of slurs, both in terms of
what information these words communicate and by what linguistic
mechanisms they communicate it. Our study aims to test laypeople’s
intuitions via questionnaires and to determine the extent to which
these intuitions correspond to the hypotheses in question.
