Gert argues that the prospects for an account of how children could learn an expressivist semantics for moral words are not encouraging. Veryroughly,Gert argues that the fact that expressivism is not widelybelieved means that parents are not disposed to correct their children’s speech when that speech is infelicitous according to expressivism. Without such correction, Gert argues that children could not learn expressivist meanings for moral words. Since children obviouslydo learn the meanings of moral words, Gert
concludes that this is a reductio of expressivism.
