Category-error(as used in logic and philosophy of language): A logical mistake where you treat something as if it belongs in the wrong group or type, leading to confused thinking.
Conflating: Conflating means mixing together or treating two different things as if they were the same thing, when they're actually distinct. It's a logical error where someone blurs important differences between concepts, ideas, or situations to make an argument seem stronger than it is. For example, conflating "being critical of a policy" with "being disloyal to your country" wrongly equates two separate things.
Institutional dysfunction(as used in social philosophy): When an organization or system (like a school or government agency) fails to work properly and doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
Misrecognition(Used by Taylor to explain the harm that motivates the demand for recognition.): The act of mirroring back to a person or group a confining, demeaning, or contemptible picture of themselves, which can cause real damage and distortion to their identity.
