Resumo: | This paper considers one of the most significant and controversial attempts to account for the meaning of pejoratives as lexical items, namely Hom and May’s. After outlining the theory, we pinpoint sets of pejorative sentences that come out true on their account and for which the question as to whether they are compatible with the view advocated by them (so-called Moral and Semantic Innocence) remains open. Helping ourselves to the standard model-theoretical framework Hom and May (presumably) work in, we prove they are compatible with the view. Given that the issues of both the moral import of pejoratives and the practical effects of their utterance are not settled by the proof, we then highlight unwelcome moral and pragmatic implications for some of the pejorative sentences under scrutiny; thereby showing that the view, broadly understood, is not as morally and semantically innocuous as it is meant to be. |

Após apresentarmos em linhas gerais ateoria, identificamos conjuntos de sentenças pejorativas que saem verdadeirasnessa teoria e para as quais a questão da sua compatibilidade com a visão poreles defendida (a chamada Inocência Moral e Semântica) permanece em aberto.Explorando o arcabouço teórico padrão da teoria dos modelos em que Hom eMay (presumivelmente) trabalham, damos uma prova de sua compatibilidade coma visão. Dado que as questões relativas tanto à importância moral de pejorativosquanto aos efeitos práticos de seu proferimento não são resolvidas pela prova,destacamos, em seguida, implicações morais e pragmáticas indesejáveis paraalgumas das sentenças pejorativas sob escrutínio, mostrando assim que a visãode Hom e May, interpretada de maneira ampla, não é tão moral e semanticamenteinócua como deveria ser.Revista KriterionRevista KriterionKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaKriterion: Revista de FilosofiaRevista Kriterion2023-01-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/36247Revista Kriterion; Vol. 63 No. 153 (2022)Revista Kriterion; Vol. 63 Núm. 153 (2022)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 63 No 153 (2022)Kriterion: Revista de Filosofia; V. 63 N. 153 (2022)Revista Kriterion; v. 63 n. 153 (2022)1981-53360100-512Xreponame:Kriterion (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/article/view/36247/32122Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Kriterionhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSoutif, LudovicPontes, André Nascimento2023-01-06T00:32:36Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/36247Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterionPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/kriterion/oairevistakriterion@gmail.com1981-53360100-512Xopendoar:2024-01-24T12:41:30.625180Kriterion (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
