La representació conceptual del gènere. Una revisió crítica
2013
Des de la perspectiva psicolingüística, diversos treballs s’han preguntat si el gènere es representa a nivell conceptual. En el marc de les noves interpretacions de la hipòtesi del relativisme lingüístic, s’ha proposat que les diferències de gènere (masculí o femení) influencien la conceptualització. Aquest article fa una anàlisi d’alguns dels estudis de referència i argumenta que a partir d’aquests estudis no es pot concloure que el gènere tingui efectes en el pensament no lingüístic. La revisió feta indica que el gènere és una propietat lexicosemàntica dels noms i que es representa lingüísticament, la qual cosa és compatible amb la hipòtesi del Pensar per Parlar. Tanmateix, es defensa que…
THE ROLE OF RATIONALITY IN JUDICIAL ARGUMENTATION
2006
I would like to try to answer in this paper a question: Should, and in which sense, judicial argumentation, particularly the external justification of the major premise of legal syllogism, be ‘rationally justified’, i.e. objectively founded?

Disagreement, Points of View, and Truth-Relativism
2022
AbstractTruth-relativism is the claim that the truth of statements is dependent on the context in which they are made. In this article, truth-relativism is considered as a way to explain disagreements. Viewpoint relativism, a recent version of truth-relativism, is introduced as a useful framework to analyse how truth-relativism approaches disagreements. Viewpoint relativism is based on contextual semantics and the logic of viewpoint, which is a two-dimensional modal logic. In viewpoint relativism, the central concept is a point of view in relation to which truth claims are evaluated. Viewpoint relativism is compared to the truth-relativism of Peter Lasersohn and John MacFarlane. Finally, tr…
