Description
Rosalind Hursthouse objects to the distinction between referential and emotive language; Dennis Walder agrees that the very same words may be referential in one context and emotive in another. Rosa...lind Hursthouse believes that a sentence may be both referential and emotive at the same time - that the best way to arouse or convey feelings may be simply to refer to things or events. These arguments are aspects of the commonly made fact/value distinction which, both speakers believe to be highly misleading.
