title = "The Good, the Bad, and the Harmful: From Restricted to Standard Uses of Slurs",
abstract = "Slurs derogate individuals based on their belonging to some demographic group, for example, race, sexuality, class, and so on. This chapter observes {\textquoteleft}reclaimed{\textquoteright}, {\textquoteleft}restricted{\textquoteright}, and {\textquoteleft}standard{\textquoteright} uses of slurs and proposes a semantic account which accommodates each type of slurring. The view proposed—Expressive-Property Contextualism—explains the similarities and differences between a wide array of slurs and demonstrates that the mechanism by which slurs derogate is virtually the same in all uses.",
