Hom and May (2015) argue that pejoratives mean negative prescriptive properties that externally depend on social ideologies, and that this entails a form of fictionalism: pejoratives have null extensions. There are relevant uses of fictional terms that are necessary to describe the content of fictions, and to make true statements about the world, that do not convey that speakers are committed to the fiction. This paper shows that the same constructions with pejoratives typically convey that the speaker is committed to racist ideologies, in contrast with fictional discourse that typically does not. The disanalogy undermines the plausibility of fictionalism about pejoratives. Moreover, the exceptions—uncommitted uses in embedded constructions—display features that conflict with Hom and May's explanation of committed uses as conversational implicatures.

贬义话语不是虚构的

Hom 和 May (2015) 认为贬义是指外部依赖于社会意识形态的负面规定属性,并且这需要一种虚构形式:贬义具有无效的扩展。有必要使用虚构术语来描述虚构的内容和对世界做出真实的陈述,但并不表示说话者致力于虚构。本文表明,带有贬义词的相同结构通常传达出说话者致力于种族主义意识形态,而虚构的话语则通常不这样做。这种不类比破坏了关于贬义的虚构主义的合理性。此外,异常——嵌入结构中的未提交用途——显示与 Hom 和 May 冲突的特征
