Description
Bad Language explores the linguistic behaviour of those who exploit language for malign purposes. Two eminent philosophers present a lively and accessible introduction to topics such as lies, bullshit, slurs, coercion, and silencing.
The text offers theoretical frameworks for thinking about these common linguistic behaviours, making it an ideal resource for students of philosophy or linguistics. Its approach assumes no prior training in the subject, making it suitable for use in a philosophy of language course.
