B offered an evaluation of such sentences: after stating what these sentences ‘meant’, he claimed that they were ‘silly’ and ‘stupid’:

B: Well it’s an insult – em – implies he isn’t a very pleasant person – could imply he eats a lot – it’s very unfair on the animal they’re rather nice things – nothing like as dirty as people make them out to be – are those glasses dead? – that’s a really funny one I always laugh when I say it myself – at myself – implies sort of you know glasses lying around with bullet holes in them or something – em meaning em – have they been finished? …

I: Can you see any similarities or differences between John is a pig and are those glasses dead?

B: Yeah they’re both silly

I: They’re both silly?

B: Yeah

I: Why?

B: Well because as I say how can you call a human being a pig for a start because a pig is a – as I said it’s an animal and it’s being remarkably unkind to the animal because you’re implying that the pig’s an absolute shithouse and in fact the pig isn’t and are those glasses dead again it’s stupid isn’t it
