When discussing language, we often assume that speakers are cooperative, honest, and helpful. However, this is not always the case in real-world language use. Bad Language is the first textbook to explore non-idealized language use, examining the linguistic behavior of individuals who exploit language for malicious purposes. Two renowned philosophers of language, Cappelen and Dever, present a lively and accessible introduction to a diverse range of topics, including lies and bullshit, slurs and insults, coercion and silencing. Through theoretical frameworks, they offer insights into these prevalent linguistic behaviors. The text is particularly suitable for use as part of a philosophy of language course for philosophy students or for linguistics students, as it does not assume prior training in philosophy or linguistics. Bad Language is part of the Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy of Language series, which aims to introduce important areas of the philosophy of language to students at various levels.
