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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793614384\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44130892677370,"sku":"9781793614384","price":34.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1679475156221_book.jpg?v=1679996773","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/slurs-and-expressivity-semantics-and-beyond-9781793614384","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
