Eufemismo in italiano: interdizione verbale nel lessico legato alla sessualità femminile
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2006) Szpingier, Beata; Beszterda, Ingeborga
The objective of this analysis is a description of euphemism in the onomastics referring to a woman through the lexicology of erotica found in everyday circulation. The description is not merely confined to lexemes referring to a women but also contains words describing parts of her body, physiological functions and sexual activity. Sexuality belongs to those domain which constitute a basis for a linguistics ban, indubitably, repression too. Studies of language prove that linguistic denial is inseparably tied with and present in interhuman communication.
