This book offers a precise and rigorous analysis of the meanings of
offensive words in Chinese. Adopting a semantic and cultural
approach, the authors demonstrate how offensive words can and
should be systematically researched, documented and accounted for
as a valid aspect of any language. The book will be of interest to
academics, practitioners and students of sociolinguistics, language
and culture, linguistic taboo, Chinese studies and Chinese
linguistics.
