汉英禁忌语和委婉语的对比研究摘要禁忌是世界各民族之间普遍存在的一种文化现象，禁忌规范了人们的言语行为与社会交际。而中西文化的巨大差异直接导致了汉英禁忌语的迥异。所以，无论是在英语还是汉语中，我们都会遇到一些因传统或社会风俗不同，会引起对方强烈反感，结果导致了有些词语我们要避免使用，就是禁忌语。由于禁忌语在应用上存在一些缺陷，就促使了委婉语的出现。禁忌语和委婉语作为两种不同的语言现象，它们既有区别又有联系。对由禁忌而产生的禁忌语和委婉语，汉、英两种语言在应用中既有相同之处也有不同之处。以语言学理论为基础，对禁忌语和委婉语在产生、性质、含义及社会功能上的联系及区别进行初步研究，有助于了解中西社会不同的民族心态、社会规范和思维方式。关键词：禁忌语；委婉语；交际；对比---本文来源于网络，仅供参考，勿照抄，如有侵权请联系删除---TheanalysisoftaboolanguageandeuphemisminChineseandEnglishAbstractTabooisacommonlyexistingculturalphenomenonamongnationsintheworldwhichregulatespeople’slanguageandsocialcommunication.ThegreatdifferencebetweenChineseandwesternculturedirectlyresultsinthegreatdifferencebetweenChineseandEnglishtaboo.So,tabooexitingbothinChineseandEnglish.Withtheconsiderationofthedifferentculturesandcustoms,weshouldavoidusingoffensiveexpression:taboo,ininternationalcommunication.Asthetaboowordshavesomedeficienciesintheapplication,itpromptedtheemergenceofeuphemism.Asthetwosidesofacoin,tabooandeuphemismareconnectedtogetherwitheachownfeature.ThegenerationandthepracticalsocialfunctionoftaboosandtheeuphemismsinEnglishandthatinChinesehavesimilarityanddifferenceaswell.Basedonthetheoryofthesociallinguistics,thispaperaimsatacomparativecross-culturalresearchonthefeatures、semanticconceptandthesocialpracticalfunctionofEnglishandChinesetaboosandeuphemisms.Keywords:taboo;euphemism;communication;comparison---本文来源于网络，仅供参考，勿照抄，如有侵权请联系删除---目录摘要..................................................................iAbstract...................................................................ii目录.................................................................iii绪论..................................................................11禁忌语..................................................................21.1禁忌的起源........................................................21.2禁忌语产生的根源..................................................22委婉语..................................................................42.1委婉语的产生及原因................................................42.2委婉语的使用目的..................................................42.2.1避讳........................................................42.2.2增添语言文雅性..............................................42.2.3起到掩饰作用................................................53禁忌语与委婉语的关系...................................................63.1联系..............................................................63.1.1相关性......................................................63.1.2可变性......................................................63.1.3民族性......................................................63.2区别..............................................................64汉英禁忌语与委婉语的比较................................................74.1汉英禁忌语和委婉语的共同之处......................................74.1.1有关“生、老、病、死”的.......................
