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.
