Emilia Wilson arguing that prioritising the evaluative framing aspect of a classificatory term over its descriptive meaning can provide a better understanding of the world.
Photo of Emilia Wilson making the final point in her talk beside a projected slide setting out her overall conclusion. Slide reads: A wide array of words have both a descriptive meaning and evaluative framing We can depart from the former to utilize the latter, leveraging a frame to produce a perspective in our hearer The tendency to mark these uses as 'real’, ‘true’, etc reflects a prioritization of the evaluative dimension Frames are vital representational tools: I’ve suggested we are still (sometimes) using words as representational devices when we do this Suspicion of these kinds of revisions is in tension with paradigmatic success-story of revising ‘rape’ To argue that ‘lexical exploitation' (i.e., persuasive definition) is always manipulative or not a communicative act is untenable
