oath causes the response to physical stress, the researchers found ... even in the case of an accident
I have a friend who can not say "fuck". It has never been able to, and shakes his head helplessly when taunted and dared to give it a try. It is not a prude. But it has a strong reaction to the word that dare not speak.
use of f-word in the first sentence of this article was not done for effect free. But how you react to read it? Would it have been nicer to see the euphemism of "The F-Word" in its place? Do some "bad" words that you feel more uncomfortable than others?
known for some time that people speak two languages ??react less strongly to bad words in their native language in their second language.
But a new study of people's reactions to a "bad" bad word - kiss, for example - in comparison, a euphemism that means the same thing, now suggests that strong emotional reactions from our bad words as a result of early conditioning verbal, rather than the meaning conveyed. This raises the possibility that young children can record the parents' reactions to taboo words before they understand what the words mean.
all kinds of emotions are associated with bad words sound as they grow, says Jeff Bowers of the University of Bristol, who led the investigation.
The results of the study, said Bowers, throw some light on a question often debated by linguists and psychologists, not the words you say affect our way of thinking and perceiving the world
Cable Bowers volunteersa machine to measure their stress levels by measuring sweat. Then he asked them to say bad words and euphemisms aloud.
Although everyone involved volunteered for the study and has been fully informed of what was involved, and is not likely to be offended, participants showed levels higher stress when asked to swear that when asked to specify the common euphemism.
Bowers says that the difference in stress levels between bad words and euphemisms shows that not only meet the meaning of a dirty word. The scandal in December last year, when James Naughtie made an unfortunate slip of the tongue, while the introduction of hunting culture secretary Jeremy today's program proves their point of view.
After- . "In our opinion, the euphemisms are effective because they replace the trigger - form offensive word - with another word that is similar conceptually," says Bowers
What was this "objective"? Pilger asked. "Whatever," said the salesman. "People?" Pilger asked. "Well, uh ... If you like "was the response of the seller.
Pilger says that sellers in these events "have the most difficulty saying" people "and" kill "and" aa maul'".
