20.500.12556/DKUM-60919 Euphemisms and other expressions referring to tabooed parts of the body Evfemizmi in druga poimenovanja tabuiziranih delov telesa The thesis examines lexical and structural features of euphemisms and their use in British newspapers and magazines, focusing on the ones referring to tabooed parts of the human body. The analysis is based on selected articles of online newspapers The Guardian, The Sun, Cosmopolitan and Men’s Health, published between 2010 and 2016. The authors of the articles use euphemisms to avoid unpleasant or inappropriate expressions for intimate parts of the body in order to maintain a public decorum. Many euphemisms are humorous or playful and add to the light-hearted, often humorous style of communication with an audience. They are also used to support sarcasm and irony, particularly in the media with a sensationalistic agenda. The most frequently used euphemisms are generic terms and figurative expressions. We also find diminutives, clippings, borrowings, onomatopoeic and phonemically modified expressions. Their frequency varies according to different topics, newspaper genres and the target audience of the media. They are mostly used in the topics related to fashion, love, sex and celebrity news. They are more frequent in tabloids and gossip magazines than in broadsheet newspapers. Magistrsko delo raziskuje leksikalne in strukturne lastnosti evfemizmov ter njihovo rabo v britanskih časopisih in revijah, osredotoča pa se na tiste, ki poimenujejo tabuizirane dele telesa. Analiza izrazov temelji na izbranih člankih elektronskih časopisov The Guardian, The Sun, Cosmopolitan in Men's Health, objavljenih med letoma 2010 in 2016. Avtorji člankov uporabljajo evfemizme, da bi se izognili neprijetnim ali neprimernim izrazom za intimne dele telesa in ohranili dobro javno podobo medijev. Mnogi evfemizmi so šaljivi ali igrivi in prispevajo k vedremu in šaljivemu načinu komuniciranja s publiko. Sodelujejo tudi pri izražanju sarkazma in ironije, predvsem v medijih s senzacionalističnim poročanjem. V evfemističen namen se najpogosteje uporabljajo splošni izrazi in metafore. Najdemo še manjšalnice, krnjenke, izposojenke, onomatopejske besede ter fonemsko spremenjene izraze. Pogostost evfemizmov v posameznih medijih je odvisna od teme, časopisnega žanra in ciljne publike. Pojavljajo se predvsem v člankih, ki obravnavajo modo, ljubezen, spolnost ter novice o znanih osebah. Pogostejši so v tabloidih in trač revijah kot v resnih časopisih. euphemisms taboo tabooed parts of the body British newspapers and magazines linguistic analysis evfemizmi tabu tabuizirani deli telesa britanski časopisi in revije jezikovna analiza true true false [D.
