Abstract:
Euphemistic substitution occurs due to taboo issues and the most common taboo subjects are physiological actions or their results (motion, sexual intercourse etc) thus the basic function of euphemistic substitution is to soften an offensive, vulgar word. A euphemism is usually defined as a softer, a more neutral substitute for vulgar words, however, such a definition is narrow and not precise as it only indicates one feature of euphemism formation, i.e. correctness, tact. Ascribing euphemisms only to the field of tropes does not reflect their contemporary distribution. Now euphemisms are also used as a linguistic means to conceal facts and manipulate the audience. It is necessary to understand the contemporary usage of euphemisms by two perspectives, i.e. as (1) a neutral word or phrase that is used instead of a synonymous one which is impolite or politically incorrect; and also as (2) individual, occasional contextual substitutions aimed at misrepresenting or concealing facts, real meaffning etc. The new usage of euphemisms is especially relevant to advocate and consolidate new social or political doctrines, "to positively inform" about acts of war carried out by totalitarian regimes, etc. Researchers investigating euphemism usage sometimes do not even mention graphical euphemism formation or do not pay greater attention to it, although in electronic discourse this is a widespread phenomenon. In written language in order to achieve euphemistic effect, a word can be restructured or changed by using non-letter graphical symbols instead of letters, euphemised graphical equivalents can be created. Graphical euphemism formation in manipulative media is not common due to obviousness. Graphical euphemisms as substitutes for obscene vocabulary are most commonly used in internet forums, article comments, interactive chat rooms. When using a graphical euphemism, the automatic check programme does not recognise it as a swearword, a vulgar word and allows inserting such a message. The article distinguishes six types of graphical euphemism formation in electronic discourse: insertion of a letter, insertion of a space, insertion of a non-letter symbol, substitution of a letter with a non-letter symbol, omission of a word part (beginning, middle, ending) and encryption. Together with these types, the cases of occasional and mixed euphemism formation are discussed. The most common type is the omission of a word part (beginning, middle, ending), another common category is that of the substitution of a letter with a non-letter symbol. Less frequent is euphemism formation by inserting a letter, a space or some other non-letter symbol into a word, while the least frequent and unpopular are cases of encrypting a euphemised word.

Abstract:
The article analyzes euphemia as a linguocultural phenomenon in the Vietnamese language. It examines the interrelationship between euphemisms and taboos. The author distinguishes five functional types of euphemisms. They are: euphemisms-word taboos used to avoid names of frightful things and phenomena; euphemisms to substitute something obscene, indecent, unpleasant; etiquette euphemisms; political euphemisms; puns (wordplay) for an intended humorous effect. There are the following large fields of euphemisms: everyday-spoken and socio-political. There have been determined euphemism formation modes which are divided into two large categories: structural (formal) and lexico-semantic ones. The article analyzes different euphemism formation modes. In the course of the study, the author has used a broad illustrative material. The research work relevance is due to the widespread usage of euphemisms in the media and communication.

Abstract:
Euphemism is generally designed to cover up sensitive, taboo and unpleasant words with more neutral and acceptable expressions. This research examined the translation of euphemisms used in LGBT-movement related situations from Milk (2008) movie’s English into Indonesian fansub. The aims of this research are to find out the classification of euphemisms in the frame of an existing euphemism model (Warren, 1992), to describe the translation techniques used to translate the euphemisms by using the translation technique theory (Molina & Albir, 2002), and to discover the intended meaning of the euphemisms by adapting levels of intended meaning theory (Stiles, 1986). Furthermore, descriptive qualitative with the strategy of single embedded case is applied as the method of this research. The data is then analyzed using Spradley’s data analysis model. The results show that the classification of euphemisms in the source language is not always translated into the same classification of euphemisms in the target language. It indicates that the way to construct sentences, the grammatical structure and the class of words in the source language are not exactly the same with the target language. The translation techniques applied by the translator are literal, generalization, modulation, variation, established equivalent, pure borrowing, natural borrowing, deletion, linguistic compression, and amplification wherein three translation forms are arisen. The three forms are euphemism translated into euphemism (67%), euphemism translated into non-euphemism (25%), and euphemism deleted in the target language (8%). This result proves that the translator has really paid attention to the phenomenon of LGBT embedded in the euphemisms. The result of the intended meaning analysis shows that after being translated, intended meaning levels from the source language are not always the same with intended meaning levels in the target language. It is due to certain euphemisms in the source language that may be different when they are being functioned in the target language.Keywords: euphemism, LGBT-movement, translation technique, intended meaning, fansub

Abstract:
This study aims at analyzing euphemisms in English and Arabic. Euphemisms address culturally sensitive areas and this is why they have not received a lot of academic attention from applied linguists in general and sociolinguists in particular. The study begins by listing the ways of forming euphemism in both English and Arabic. Then it sheds light on English Political euphemism for being a tool for political leaders to control information transmission. Based on some examples, this paper summarises three features which distinguish political euphemism from others. Then, it discusses pragmatically how political euphemism violates all the maxims of Grice's cooperative principle. We briefly discuss dysphemism and in which way its formation process is similar and different from euphemism. Such study of this linguistic phenomenon provides a proof that language is not only a reflection of the objective world but a process of social construction.

Abstract:
There are a large number of euphemisms in both English and Chinese which plays an important role in communication. Due to the differences in politics, economy, history, religion, values and ways of thinking between China and the west, the translation of English and Chinese euphemisms is of great significance to cross-cultural communication. In recent years, the study on the comparison and translation of euphemisms between English and Chinese has attracted the attention of domestic scholars. This paper selects 28 Chinese papers on the comparison and translation of euphemisms between Chinese and English on CNKI, summarizes the general situation of the comparison and translation of euphemisms in China in the past 10 years, and summarizes the characteristics of the research. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current situation of euphemism translation in China and find out the limitations of euphemism translation so as to promote the further development of euphemism translation.

Thesis (Ph. D. (Tshivenda)) --University of Limpopo, 2016
This study examined Tshivenḓa euphemisms from a socio-pragmatic perspective within a framework of Politeness and Indirectness Communicative theories. According to Brown and Levinson (1987), Politeness Theory describes politeness as showing concern for people’s ‘face’ needs where ‘face’ means one’s public self-image. In terms of the Indirectness Communicative Theory, euphemism is a face saving mechanism which emphasizes mutual cooperation in a conversation. Euphemisms are described as substitutions of agreeable or inoffensive expressions for ones that may offend or suggest something unpleasant. They are words with meanings or sounds that are thought, somehow, to be nicer, cleaner or more elevated and they are used as substitutes for words deemed unpleasant, crude or ugly in sound or sense. The study adopted a descriptive and exploratory design within a qualitative research approach, based on the view that qualitative research aims at explaining complex phenomena by means of verbal description rather than testing hypotheses with numerical values. Furthermore, primary data were elicited from 25 participants of different ages, genders, educational levels, social status and occupations who are native speakers of the Tshivenḓa language by means of semi-structured interviews. Since this study involved working with humans, all ethical aspects were ensured. The study, which investigated the use of Tshivenḓa euphemisms, was conducted in seven social domains in Venḓa in the Vhembe District: local courts, churches, homes, hospitals, girls in seclusion, schools and electronic media. The study’s findings show evidence of the use of Tshivenḓa euphemisms in these various domains. However, the court domain seems not to use many euphemisms due to the fact that clear communication is required there; for two parties in a case to understand what is being said during the proceedings the use of roundabout indirect language is avoided – the courts believe in calling ‘a spade, a spade.’ Through the careful analysis of euphemisms, the study’s findings revealed that euphemisms have both positive and negative effects on language, including Tshivenḓa. Some of the positive effects of euphemisms revealed by this study include the ability to avoid directly naming what is deemed unpleasant; they make the language sound more v literary; and they allow people to discuss touchy or taboo subjects with ease. However, the findings also suggested that euphemisms may be disrespectful; they could hinder clear communication; they are deceptive; and they may lead to miscommunication and general confusion. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that the use of euphemisms in Tshivenḓa language should be reinforced in all social domains in order to enhance politeness; preserve the public self-image of the participants in communicative exchanges; and facilitate harmonious interpersonal relationships. It is also recommended that further study be undertaken to identify other factors that may affect the use of euphemisms in Tshivenḓa from other perspectives.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to shed light on euphemism in two different senses: sweet talking and deception. I shall treat euphemism from two different perspectives: the usual use of euphemism, sweet talking, in which it is used to maintain one's face and the orthophemistic sense, deception, where 'torture' is referred to as "enhanced interrogation techniques". I shall analyze examples, taken from religious, cultural, political backgrounds, on each case. Moreover, I shall talk about taboo since it is usually associated with euphemism. I shall talk about the referential (semantic) and expletive (pragmatic) aspects of swearing expressions. In this essay, I shall show that euphemism can be used in two different senses: sweet talking and deception.

Abstract:
The present research investigates how euphemistic expressions in the Qur'an are translated into English. The study approaches the topic from a functional point of view framing it mainly within Nord's version of Skopos theory together with the equivalence and response-oriented theories of Nida and Newmark. This study has textually and contextually analysed 29 Qur'an verses which included some 43 sex-related expressions. Then, three contemporary translations have been textually analysed and the translation procedures chosen for the rendering of these euphemistic expressions were defined. The analysis was also aided by questionnaire results which gauged target reader recognition of the euphemistic expressions in the translations. Two translators have also contributed to this study have been interviewed about their translating processes, the strategies they have adopted and the translation aids they used to fulfil the mission of translation. The analysis has revealed some interesting findings. It has been found that Qur'an translations are very much source-oriented and translators tend not to deviate much from the source language forms and structures. It was also found that translators' faithfulness has led to a successful rendering of most of the euphemistic expressions analysed in the study.

Burton, Marianne. "'Our modern delicacy' : sexual euphemism in the nineteenth-century novel." Thesis, University of London, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.603490.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers how nineteenthwcentury novelists employed sexual euphemism to avoid the constraints placed on them by editors and publishers, circulating libraries, and by the ' informal censorship which English readers imposed on their respectable fiction' (Ruth Bernard YeazeIl1982:340). It suggests a move occurred from simple linguistic euphemism in the early years of the century to contextual euphemism later in the century. and that this played a key role in innovation in the British novel, aiding rather than hindering ' British realism' by introducing uncertainty into sexual narrative which reflected, and reflects, social realities within our ' unknowable communities'. The introductory chapter gives an overview of the trope, and suggests that sexual reticence was regarded in the nineteenth century as representative of an advanced state of civilization rather than prudery. The second chapter examines Charlotte Turner Smith's The Wanderings of Warwick (1794) and Sophia Lee's 71,e Life of A Lover (1804), with additional reference to Smith's first novel Emmeline, the Orphan of the Castle (1788). It considers these novels' transparent approach to sexual themes, using stable linguistic euphemism as a decorous but unambiguous method of narration. Chapter 3 considers George Eliot's treatment of the child as sexual referent, including pregnancy, miscarriage, and childlessness. Chapter 4 presents an examination of how the ubiquity of the social kiss in the narrative ofWilkie Collins enabled him to include kisses recording extreme physical sensation, with particular attention to his last completed novel The Legacy of Cain. Chapter 5 considers Henry James' examination of the influence of socio~ moral sexual euphemism on the cognition and behaviour of his protagonists in Dai.5Y Miller and The Ambassadors in proleptic illustrations of the Sapir~ Whorf hypothesis.
