  The previous sections address potential epistemological and metaphysical implications of moral disagreement. However, it is also thought to be relevant to the fields of moral semantics and moral metasemantics (which focus on questions about the meanings and functions of moral sentences and about the nature and contents of moral convictions). Moral disagreements manifest themselves in disputes over sentences that involve terms such as “good” and “right” and in differences regarding when and on what basis those terms are to be applied. Since such patterns of language use belong to the phenomena semantical and metasemantical theories seek to account for, the disagreement has been taken to have relevance also in those areas.
