Explain the term“euphemism”with examples.Describe the use of euphemisms in social communication.What will result in euphemistic cliches?
选项
答案
A euphemism is a mild,indirect or less offensive word or expression substituted when the speaker or writer fears more direct wording might be harsh,unpleasantly direct,or offensive.Euphemism and taboo are two faces of the same communication coin.In this sense,a euphemism is a word or phrase that replaces a taboo word or serves to avoid frightening or unpleasant subject.For example,people say“portly”or“full-figured”instead of“fast”,“inexpensive”instead of“cheap”.In the English-speaking world,people do not“die”,but“pass away”.or to use an idiomatic expression,they only“kick the bucket”. The use of euphemisms as a way of disassociating the denotative meaning of a word with its negative connotation is effective,at least to speakers of certain social groups.As long as there is a need to avoid the use of taboo language,there is a need for the use of euphemistic substitutes.And euphemisms have constituted an indispensable part of speakers’ “polite”vocabulary in their social communication. However,an excessive use of euphemisms may have negative effects,and will result in euphemistic cliches that are to be avoided in formal speech and writing.
