TAILIEUCHUNG - McEnery - Swearing in English

Consider the word shit. Simply being asked to do this may have shocked you. Even if it did not, most speakers of British English would agree that this is a word to be used with caution. Because of prevailing attitudes amongst speakers of the English language, using the word may lead any hearer to make a number of inferences about you. They may infer something about your emotional state, your social class or your religious beliefs, for example. They may even infer something about your educational achievements. All of these inferences flow from a fairly innocuous four-letter word | Swearing in English Bad language purity and power from 1586 to the present Tony McEnery Routledge Advances in Corpus Linguistics Taylor Francis Group X X XCX XWMXX WX Also available as a printed book see title verso for ISBN details Swearing in English Swearing in English uses the spoken section of the British National Corpus to establish how swearing is used and to explore the associations between bad language and gender social class and age. The book goes on to consider why bad language is a major locus of variation in English and investigates the historical origins of modern attitudes to bad language. The effects that centuries of censorious attitudes to swearing have had on bad language are examined as are the social processes that have brought about the associations between swearing and a number of sociolinguistic variables. Drawing on a variety of methodologies including historical research and corpus linguistics and a range of data such as corpora dramatic texts early modern newsbooks and television programmes Tony McEnery takes a sociohistorical approach to discourses about bad language in English. Moral panic theory and Bourdieu s theory of distinction are also utilised to show how attitudes to bad language have been established over time by groups seeking to use an absence of swearing in their speech as a token of moral economic and political power. This book provides an explanation not simply a description of how modern attitudes to bad language have come about. Tony McEnery is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at Lancaster University UK and has published widely in the area of corpus linguistics.
