Euphemism exists in all languages and cultures, Chinese is no exception. This article aims at analyzing Chinese euphemism both from its classification and its pragmatic function. Analysis shows that Chinese euphemism could be roughly classified into the following classes: euphemism avoiding taboo words; euphemism avoiding vulgarity; euphemism reducing or concealing disadvantages and euphemism showing one’s respect. Most of the Chinese euphemisms function at the expense of any maxim or maxims of the CP principle, while almost all of the euphemisms work in conformity with the PP principle. 相似文献

As a linguistic phenomenon, euphemism exists in all kinds of languages, so it is widely used by various circles of society. It is not only a linguistic phenomenon, but also a kind of social phenomenon, which is a reflection of the social culture in the language. Euphemism has already penetrated into all aspects of daily life, and reflected different national psychologies and cultural differences. As the development of the society and human civilization and the accelerated process of economic globalization, the role euphemism plays in human communication especially in cross-cultural communication has been increasingly prominent. Here a comparative study on English and Chinese euphemisms is made to help to be familiar with similarities and differences of the use of euphemism in English and Chinese languages so as to reduce errors resulting in cross- culture communication, and improve cross-cultural communicative competence. 相似文献

Animals are friends of human beings.Both the Chinese and English language contains a lot of words denoting animals.Along with the development of society,animal words gradually got their connotations in both languages.However,because of different cultural backgrounds of English and Chinese,the implied meanings of the same animal are possibly different.The article starts with the discussion on four causes of special connotation of animal words.Afterwards,the paper makes comparison between the cultural connotation of English and Chinese animal words.It mainly dwells on four types to explore the differences:similarity,part similarity,distinction and vacancy in equivalence.A large amount of examples have been employed to show the differences of connotation between English and Chinese animal words.Hopefully,the barriers in intercultural communication can be removed and mutual-understanding between the cultures will be achieved accordingly. 相似文献

委婉语的出现、创造、使用及发展与人类思维密切相关。根据所表示的对象禁忌与否,英语委婉语可分为传统委婉语和文体委婉语两类。原始思维把语言符号的能指和所指等同起来,由此产生了对某些语言符号的禁忌,只好用一些委婉的说法替代被禁忌的语言符号,这就是传统委婉语的成因。文体委婉语与禁忌无关,它是人们有意识地利用语言符号的任意性和人类思维的联想性,在目标和始源之间强制建立相似性联想的结果。按照委婉语在交际中所发挥的作用,文体委婉语又可分为夸张性委婉语、缩小性委婉语和模糊性委婉语三类。人类思维的变化决定了委婉语的发展规律——不断更新规律。 相似文献
