  • The Semantics of Racial Slurs”
    Linguistic and Philosophical Investigations Volume 13, 2014, pp. 11–32, ISSN 1841-2394 REMARKS ON “THE SEMANTICS OF RACIAL SLURS” ADAM M. CROOM [email protected] University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT. In “The Semantics of Racial Slurs,” an article recently published in Linguistic and Philosophical Investigations, Hedger (2012) draws upon Kaplan’s (1999) distinction between descriptive and expressive content to argue that slurs are expressions with purely expressive content. Here I review the key considerations presented by Hedger (2012) in support of his purely expressive account of slurs and provide clear reasons for why it must ultimately be rejected. After reviewing the key cases Hedger (2012) offers for consideration in support of his view that slurs are expressions with purely expressive content, this article provides a critical evaluation of these cases, pointing out at least 13 ways in which his purely expressive analysis of slurs fails. In considering the 13 ways in which the purely expressive analysis of slurs remains inadequate, this article concludes with the suggestion that an adequate account of slurs will ultimately involve not only an expressive aspect but a descrip- tive aspect also. Keywords: slurs, epithets, philosophy of language, semantics, pragmatics, expressivism 1.

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.

  • 3-12. Multiculturalism and Humor David Espey Despey
    Journal of American Studies of Turkey 2 (1995): 3-12. Multiculturalism and Humor David Espey [email protected] Ethnic humor in America has traditionally been prejudiced and racist. Jokes about ethnic difference are as American as apple pie. Each immigrant group in the US has suffered ridicule from other groups who got there first. Thus in American culture there exists a whole catalog of ethnic jokes based on crude stereotypes identified by names which in themselves are ethnic slurs--the Mick joke, the Kraut joke, the Chink joke, the Jap joke, Polack joke--as well as jokes about Italians, Jews, Hispanics, Indians, Blacks. In the current climate of heightened sensitivity to cultural difference in America, this low form of humor is unacceptable in public. Senator Alphonse D'Amato of New York (himself an Italian-American) was reminded of that fact recently when he had to apologize publicly for making ethnic jokes about Judge Lance Ito, the Japanese-American magistrate presiding in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Perhaps this change in public etiquette is one accomplishment of what we call "multiculturalism," the broad term which denotes the various efforts in the US to acknowledge cultural diversity and eliminate discrimination against people because of ethnic origin, gender, or sexual preference. Multiculturalism has its contemporary roots in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's, which led to laws curtailing discrimination and promoting equality. Multiculturalism has gained legal and cultural power, but it has also attracted criticism as it has become bureaucratically entrenched. As a governmental policy which seeks to enforce tolerance and equality, multiculturalism can be very Puritanical in spirit.
