| Opis: | 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. |
