The Social Functions of Cuss-Words

Sinan Çaya

Abstract


Swearing words are in actuality merely a part and a factual situation of daily life. They concern to everybody. They are employed by us, the makers of the social reality. They come to our attention via eavesdropping. They may even choose us as their own targets, mostly in absentia and sometimes within our very presence!


Keywords
