Self-Learning Home Task (SLHT) : (En11/12Rws-Ivac-9)
A. Readings/Discussions
Bunnin and Yu (2004) disclosed that in philosophy of language and ethics, some
philosophers suggest that we distinguish between two kinds of meaning of expression.
Descriptive meaning contribute to a bare presentation of facts, is in the claim “This
strawberry is sweet.” Evaluative meaning functions in a different way by offering an
assessment, as in the claim “This strawberry is good.” The descriptive meaning of a
statement can be determined by its truth conditions, while the evaluative meaning cannot.
This is because the descriptive meaning is constant while the evaluative meaning varies with
the reactions of those using the expression. For instance, “war” has a fixed and translatable
descriptive beaning, but its emotive associations can give it different evaluative meaning.
For some, “war” evokes a feeling of terror, and for others it evokes a feeling of heroic
courage.
Rama Rao (2010) further expressed that evaluative statement cover three components
of the attitudes: Likewise, he noted that these concern object, people, or events.
The theories and ideas lead the reader to be equipped with knowledge and skills on
the way one evaluates statements of the written text. Below are some guidelines:
