DESCRIPTION:<p>Call For Papers:&nbsp\;&ldquo\;Value in Language&rdquo\;\, special issue of Organon F\, Slovakia's main journal in the analytic tradition.</p>\n<p>Guest editor: Dan Zeman (University of Warsaw).</p>\n<p>Many expressions in natural language are used to convey how we value parts of the world &ndash\; things\, events\, actions\, people. We use them to express our own opinions\, but they also help us gain insight into what others think. Value and valuing is a crucial part of our lives: it guides us into action\, it categorizes the world around us\, it shapes our identity.</p>\n<p>The special issue focuses on questions in the semantics of natural language expressions that are used to express value and valuing. Evaluative expressions (moral terms like &ldquo\;good&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;bad&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;ought to&rdquo\;\, aesthetic adjectives like &ldquo\;beautiful&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;ugly&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;balanced&rdquo\;\, predicates of taste like &ldquo\;tasty&rdquo\;\, &ldquo\;disgusting&rdquo\;\, &rdquo\;boring&rdquo\;\, thick terms like &ldquo\;courageous&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;generous&rdquo\;)\, slurs like &ldquo\;boche&rdquo\; and expressives like &ldquo\;damn&rdquo\; are among the expressions that involve\, in some way or another\, valuing and value. Among the questions papers in the issue should address are the following:</p>\n<p>-How do languages encode value (if at all)? - Should value be part of the semantics of a language or of pragmatics (or neither)?</p>\n<p>- What are the best arguments for the main approaches to these expressions in the literature?</p>\n<p>- How is disagreement involving the expressions in question to be accounted for?</p>\n<p>- What is the connection between the semantics of these expressions and the social milieus in which they are used?</p>\n<p>- How are the most prominent linguistic features of those expressions (e.g.\, the &ldquo\;hyper-projectivity&rdquo\; of slurs) to be treated?</p>\n<p>The following authors have confirmed their contribution to the issue: Bianca Cepollaro (Vita-Salute San Raffaele University)\, Stefano Predelli (University of Nottingham)\, Pekka V&auml\;yrynen (University of Leeds). Papers up to 7500 words (including references) tackling the questions above (but also others that might be of interest) should be submitted at&nbsp\;https://journals.savba.sk/index.php/organonf&nbsp\;by DECEMBER 1\, 2020. 4-6 papers will be selected for publication after double-blind refereeing. The special issue is planned to come out in the summer of 2021.</p>
