  While non-cognitivism was first developed as a theory about moral judgments (Ogden &amp; Richards 1923, 125. Barnes 1933) many of the arguments for the position apply equally well to other sorts of evaluative language. Thus most non-cognitivists today extend the treatment to normative or evaluative judgments generally, and the discussion below will often speak of normative or evaluative judgments and terms – a category which includes as paradigms moral judgments, judgments of rationality, and judgments of value.
