In recent years, philosophers have begun to uncover the role played by verbal conduct in generating oppressive social structures. I examine the oppressive illocutionary uses, and perlocutionary effects, of expressives: speech acts that are not truth-apt, merely expressing attitudes, such as desires, preferences, and emotions. Focusing on expressions of disgust in conversation, I argue for two claims: (1) that expressions of disgust can activate in the local, conversational context the oppressive power of the underlying structures of oppression; (2) that conversational expressions of disgust can, via the pragmatic process of presupposition accommodation, contribute to morally problematic cases of disgust contagion.

近年来，哲学家们开始发现言语行为在产生压迫性社会结构中所起的作用。我研究了表达方式的压迫性言外之意和言后效果：不符合真理的言语行为，仅表达态度，如欲望、偏好和情感。专注于谈话中的厌恶表达，我主张两个主张：（1）厌恶的表达可以在当地的谈话环境中激活潜在压迫结构的压迫力；（2）厌恶的对话表达可以通过预设适应的务实过程，促成厌恶传染的道德问题案例。
