TY - JOUR EP - 268 VL - 96 N2 - My aim in this piece is to understand what kinds of acts sneering acts are. I aim to look at what sneering acts do and what social function they perform. In particular, I want to mark them out as acts of ?making people feel?. I explore the grounds on which we might criticize sneering acts, and ask whether the thing that we do when we sneer is always vicious.
