Abstract:

Taboo in Discourse: Studies on Attenuation and Offence in Communication
combines cognitive, multimodal, translation and (critical) discourse-related
issues with the intent of widening the field of study of taboo in
communication. This volume explores the complex interplay between taboo and
language in a range of social contexts, cultural settings and real-world
discourse types: from political speeches to television series through
cartoons, novels, oral interviews or official advertisements. Through a
selection of empirical studies anchored in analyses of authentic and
contextualized language data, this book examines the communicative functions
of the different categories of taboo naming, from euphemism (attenuation) to
dysphemism (offence). 

By bringing together contrasting (yet complementary) examples of taboo-related
research, this volume yields insights into the way taboo emerges in discourse
and allows to have access to attitudes, stereotypes and value judgments
regarding taboo which are more or less implicitly communicated in the public
sphere.
