本文提出了一种新的风格的语义分析（一些）诽谤：语言表达用于诋毁个人的基础上，他们的身份的某些方面。作为一个例子，作者将特别关注一个贬义词：dyke，这通常被认为是对女同性恋者的贬义词。作者认为，文献中没有足够的注意到目标群体成员使用dyke，他们经常以非侮辱性的方式使用它;其次，作者认为，没有足够的注意到“中性”形式的使用，女同性恋者，这通常被视为具有简单，明确的含义，如“从事同性性行为”（Jeshion，2013年a，第312页）。根据McConnell-Ginet（2002）的观点，作者认为，考虑到dyke和lesbian的所有用法，需要对这两个术语进行新的语义学和语用学研究。更具体地说，作者提出，女同性恋者和女同性恋者与不同的人格：抽象的身份或刻板印象。戴克与反主流人物角色有关，绝大多数演讲者对此持负面看法;而女同性恋与主流人物角色有关，许多演讲者对此持正面看法。作者认为，与dyke和lesbian相关的语义难题可以通过将这些人物角色理论与听者对对话者意识形态的信念如何影响话语理解的理论相结合来解决。
This paper presents a new style of semantic analysis for (some) slurs: linguistic expressions used to denigrate individuals based on some aspects of their identity. As an illustration, the author will focus on one slur in particular: dyke, which is generally considered to be a derogatory term for lesbians. The author argues that not enough attention in the literature has been paid to the use of dyke by members of the target group, who can often use it in a non-insulting manner; secondly, the author argues not enough attention has been paid to the use of the “neutral” form, lesbian, which is generally treated as having a simple, clear meaning, such as “engage[s] in same-sex sex” (Jeshion, 2013a, 312). Following McConnell-Ginet (2002), the author argues that taking into account all the uses of both dyke and lesbian requires a new semantics and pragmatics for both terms. More specifically, the author proposes that dyke and lesbian are associated with different sets of personae: abstract identities or stereotypes. Dyke is associated with an anti-mainstream persona, which the vast majority of speakers views negatively; whereas, lesbian is associated with a mainstream persona, which many speakers view favourably. The author proposes that the semantic puzzles associated with dyke and lesbian can be resolved through the combination of a theory of these personae and a theory of how listeners’ beliefs about their interlocutors’ ideologies affect utterance interpretation.
