Emociones, ofensa y registro sociolingüístico: el caso de los “usos distantes” de los términos discriminatorios
Main Article Content
Abstract
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.
