DESCRIPTION:Committing to Slurs\nSlurs remain a prominent topic in common
  ground pragmatics\, and perhaps not due to their unique workings\, but 
 due to their very ordinary\, but strongly exemplified properties. The co
 mmon ground\, as usually understood is taken as the set of propositions 
 mutually accepted or by participants in a conversation and this provides
  a useful framework for explaining many pragmatic phenomena\, including 
 some including slurs. Uttering a slur\, in this sense\, can mean introdu
 cing a denigrating proposition into the common ground\, so long as the o
 ther party does not protest. When analysing the flow of a conversation t
 hen\, this question arises: Between two parties where only one uses slur
 s: How is the non-protesting side not just complicit in the use of slurs
 \, if represented as an assertion\, when they are brought up into the co
 mmon ground\, but commit itself to accepting the slurring proposition it
 self into the common ground as well?  This poster explores the condition
 s under which the acceptance of slurs may in fact be given from non-prot
 esting\, while critiquing the strong focus on propositionality that this
  interpretation of the common ground presupposes. Finally\, the poster i
 ncludes a proposal for an experiment that can empirically validate these
  findings\, all while navigating the rough sea confounding experimental 
 paradigms given by strong words.
