Dear namers and named, The next session of the Meaning Reading Group will deal with proper names of the improper variety. "Longstanding philosophical debate over the semantics of proper names has yet to examine the distinctive behavior of deadnames, names that have been rejected by their former bearers. The use of these names to deadname individuals is derogatory, but deadnaming derogates differently than other kinds of derogatory speech." If you want to find out why a certain revised version of predicativism might be our best shot at theorizing deadnames, join us to discuss a draft of Taylor Coles' "The Semantics of Deadnames".
Please join us next Wednesday, July 8th, from 4.00 to 5.30pm UK time, for the discussion. Please find the paper here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bydpl3lj2ttf1og/Coles%20-%20The%20Semantics%20of%20Deadnames.pdf?dl=0 And please find the Zoom invitation below: Meaning Reading Group https://zoom.us/j/95270195257 Meeting-ID: 952 7019 5257 The very best, Nikki _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: https://lists.cam.ac.uk/pipermail/phil-events/ Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
