The Nordic research network Swearing in Scandinavia (SwiSca) would like to

types of taboo language.
   
The symposium features invited international speakers, including Senior
Lecturer Dr. Karyn Stapleton from Ulster University (keynote), Professor
Kristy Beers Fägersten from Sö­­dertörn University (SwiSca) and Associate
Professor Marianne Rathje from the University of Southern Denmark (Swisca).
They will be joined by SwiSca members University Lecturer Elizabeth Peterson,

University of Helsinki.

The language of the symposium is English.

Attendance is free of charge, and anyone is welcome to come and listen to the
presentations. Registration is not required from non-presenters, but because
coffee will be served, advance registration would be greatly appreciated.

The SwiSca symposium is the fifth symposium organized by the Swearing in
Scandinavia network. The previous symposia took place in Copenhagen (2012),
