Abstract:

Linguistic taboo has been relegated for a long time to a peripheral position
within Linguistics, due to its social stigmatization and inherent linguistic
complexity. Recently, though, there has been a renewed interest in revisiting
the phenomenon, especially from cognitive frameworks. This volume is the first
collection of papers dealing with linguistic taboo from that perspective.

The volume gathers 15 chapters, which provide novel insights into a broad
range of taboo phenomena (euphemism, dysphemism, swearing, political
correctness, coprolalia, etc.) from the fields of sexuality, diseases, death,
war, ageing or religion. With a special focus on lexical semantics, the
authors in the volume work within Cognitive Linguistics frameworks such as
conceptual metaphor and metonymy, cultural conceptualization or cognitive
sociolinguistics, but also at the interface of pragmatics, discourse analysis,
applied linguistics, cognitive science or psychiatry.

This volume provides theoretical reflections and case studies based on new
methods and data from varied languages (English, Spanish, Polish, Dutch,
Persian, Gikũyũ and Egyptian Arabic). As such, it moves towards a new
generation of linguistic taboo studies.
