Sostengo que ganar una disputa definicional tiene efectos prácticos importantes. Imponer una definición particular de un término normativo sobre otros hablantes puede causar en ellos ciertas emociones deseables, o puede influir sobre su interpretación de aquellas reglas jurídicas o morales cuya formulación incluye el término disputado. Luego describo dos modalidades retóricas mediante las cuales los disputantes pueden proponer su definición preferida: una modalidad que presenta la propuesta como si fuera una descripción de un hecho sobre la comunidad lingüística y otra modalidad que presenta la propuesta como una prescripción lingüística. Muestro que en ciertos contextos debe adoptarse el segundo modo, porque (entre otras razones) es más transparente con respecto a las razones por las cuales disputamos sobre palabras. El trabajo ilustra el punto con el caso de la disputa sobre la expresión "derechos humanos".]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract Definitional disputes about normative terms are common. Is it worth it to discuss about words? I argue that winning a definitional dispute can have important practical consequences. Imposing a particular definition on other speakers may cause certain desirable emotions in them, or it may influence their interpretation of legal and moral norms whose formulation includes the disputed term. I then describe two rhetorical modes by which disputants can propose their preferred definition: one mode introduces the proposal as if it were a description of facts about the linguistic community, while the other mode introduces the proposal as a linguistic prescription. I show that in certain contexts the latter should be adopted, because (among other reasons) it is more transparent regarding the reasons why we argue about words. The article illustrates this point with the example of a definitional dispute about the expression "human rights".]]></p></abstract>
