Hi everyone,
I am new here, so let me say 'hi' and introduce myself a bit: my name is Dominik and I am currently writing MA paper on the cross-cultural (and also cross-linguistic) aspects of swearing. The main aim of the study is to investigate how different nations, cultures and languages use the indecent words, what is the attitude towards swearing in different societies and, most importantly, what are the tabooed areas in different parts of the world. Therefore, I decided to introduce my questionnaire here as the forums are visited by not only by speakers of different languages, but also by Japanese, who are of particular interest in my course of study due to their completely different attitude towards swearing, which it would be a very interesting phenomenon to academic investigation. Also, as soon as I get a sufficient number of responses I will post the results here to share the data with the forum readers. If you have any questions concerning the survey or the theory of vulgarisms in general - feel free to post it here, I've been studying this matter for several months so I think that I'll be able to provide answers and dissipate your doubts.
