Subject: Slurring Terms Across Languages (STAL): Network launch and call for members


Slurring Terms Across Languages (STAL) is an international and
interdisciplinary network whose primary aim is to promote work on
slurs, pejoratives, and evaluative and expressive terms in general,
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. Its main aim is to bring to
light new empirical data and uncover novel interesting phenomena that
may have the potential to challenge current theories. Empirical
studies of the expressions mentioned from less-studied languages,
comparisons with their English counterparts, as well as wider
cross-linguistic approaches, are welcome. We also welcome developments
of extant theories in application to the new data or to previously
neglected phenomena.

The network's coordinators are Isidora Stojanovic (Institut Jean
Nicod/CNRS) & Dan Zeman (Slovak Academy of Sciences/University of
Warsaw). The activities organized include a regular monthly seminar
(online) and an annual workshop. More information about these and the
network in general can be found at
https://sites.google.com/view/stalnetwork.

IMPORTANT: We are currently accepting new members! To become a member
of STAL, please send an email to both coordinators (at
isidora.stojanovic at cnrs.fr and danczeman at gmail.com) with a short
description of your work in the area and your motivation for joining
the network. Members don't have any commitments, but they might be
asked to serve in the scientific committee of some of the activities
organized. They can also present their own work. We are looking
forward to collaborating with researchers from as many backgrounds and
scientific areas as possible.
