Emotivism refers to a theory about moral judgments, words, sentences and speech acts.

According to Emotivism, which is Ayer’s favored version of non-cognitivism, “Moral judgments are not truth-apt instead they are expressions of sentiments of acceptance or dislike. According to emotivism, making a moral judgment simply means expressing an emotion.

For example - There is no difference in the core meaning when I say ‘You acted wrongly in stealing that money’, or ‘You stole that money.’ I am just saying that the action done by you is wrong But the first statement is express my moral disapproval about it.
