SUMMARY:Slurs and Bad Manners
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Some authors have observed that the derogatory conte
 nt conveyed by slurs exhibits features commonly associated with convention
 al implicatures and have therefore concluded that slurs conventionally imp
 licate derogatory content. However\, Nunberg (2018) argues that there is a
  class of special manner implicatures that share these features and that s
 lurs give rise to such implicatures instead. This paper offers a detailed 
 examination of manner implicatures and argues that while (i) Nunberg is ri
 ght that certain manner implicatures behave like conventional implicatures
 \, (ii) treating slurs as giving rise to manner implicatures faces a serio
 us difficulty. For this reason\, the talk concludes that a conventional im
 plicature account of slurs is preferable.
