Abstract:

Any behavior that arouses, as swearing does, controversy, disagreement,
disdain, shock, and indignation as often as it imbues passion, sincerity,
intimacy, solidarity, and jocularity should be an obvious target of in-depth
scholarship. Rigorous, scholarly investigation of the practice of swearing
acknowledges its social and cultural significance, and allows us to discover
and better understand the historical, psychological, sociological, and
linguistic aspects (among others) of swearwords and swearword usage. The
present volume brings together a range of themes and issues central to the
existing knowledge of swearing and considers these in two key ‘new’ arenas,
that is, in languages other than English, and/or in contexts and media other
than spoken interaction. Many of the chapters analysed are based on large and
robust collections of data, such as corpora or questionnaire responses, which
allow for patterns of swearing to emerge. In other chapters, personally
observed instances of swearing comprise the focus, allowing for a close
analysis of the relationship between sociolinguistic context and pragmatic
function. In each chapter, the cultural aspects of swearing are considered,
ultimately affirming the importance of the study of swearing, and further
establishing the legitimacy of swearing as a target of research.
