Description
Summary:There is a particular kind of use of slurs in which the negative emotions typically associated with them (hatred, anger) are not present in the occurrence. Even so, these uses still resonate as incorrect or inadequate. This kind of "detached use" is not only an interesting, rarely mentioned phenomenon per se; it also offers some support to a novel approach to slurs based on the sociolinguistic notion of "register". This paper examines some types of detached uses, extracts some of their essential features and assesses the way the register-based approach to slurs can account for them.
Existe un tipo particular de usos de términos discriminatorios en el que las emociones negativas típicamente asociadas a él (odio, enojo) no se hallan de hecho presentes. Aun así, lo incorrecto o inadecuado sigue resonando en esos usos. Este tipo de "uso distante" resulta interesante per se, en cuanto fenómeno conversacional rara vez advertido. Sin embargo, también presta apoyo a una aproximación a los términos discriminatorios basada en el concepto sociolingüístico de "registro", de la cual se sigue esta relación entre emociones e incorrección. Este trabajo examina algunos tipos de usos distantes y sus rasgos esenciales, y considera cómo el registro sociolingüístico de los términos discriminatorios puede dar cuenta de ellos.
