Euphemania Our Love Affair with Euphemisms【電子書籍】[ Ralph Keyes ]

＜p＞How did die become kick the bucket, underwear become unmentionables, and having an affair become hiking the Appalachian trail? Originally used to avoid blasphemy, honor taboos, and make nice, euphemisms have become embedded in the fabric of our language. ＜em＞Euphemania＜/em＞ traces the origins of euphemisms from a tool of the church to a form of gentility to today's instrument of commercial, political, and postmodern doublespeak.＜br /＞ As much social commentary as a book for word lovers, ＜em＞Euphemania＜/em＞ is a lively and thought-provoking look at the power of words and our power over them.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
