Annotation
This paper presents a new distinction between three divergent uses of (English) race-and sex-based slurs in social interaction -i.e. the (non-)paradigmatic derogatory use, and non-derogatory in-group use-, answers for their literal meaning and certifies how a family-resemblance category membership conception can elucidate slur comprehension.
