Slurs and Expressivity: Semantics and Beyond, edited by Eleonora Orlando and Andres Saab, delves into the analysis of the expressive aspects of slur-words, specifically those words that convey contemptuous or derogatory feelings towards members of a particular group based on their ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, political ideology, and other personal qualities. As expressive words, slurs play a significant role in conveying emotional attitudes. This collection presents various hypotheses regarding the semantic encoding of the expressive import of slurs and other related expressive words in the grammar and their impact on various aspects of their usage in different practices of linguistic communication. These practices often involve segregation and discrimination of specific human groups. Consequently, any contribution to the theory of slur meaning contributes indirectly to a better understanding of these practices and finding effective strategies to eradicate them.
