| Sumario: | Slurs are arguably the most prototypical instance of hate speech: they exemplify very clearly how discourse can hurt, abuse and subordinate human beings. What is contended is whether the derogatory content of a slur occurring in indirect speech is sealed, i.e. entirely ascribed to the reported speaker so that the whole utterance turns out non-derogatory, or whether it gets attributed to the reporting speaker so that the whole utterance sounds derogatory. The paper also contains an analysis of and comparison with Claudia Bianchi's echoic approach to reclamation, which Jeshion argues falls short of accounting for both types of reclamation distinguished. 11 Cepollaro, Bianca, Sulpizio, Simone & Bianchi, Claudia.
