Euphemisms and linguoculturology

Abstract

Linguoculturology is one of the new directions in linguistics. Recently, it has separated from modern linguistics and become an independent field. Linguoculturology is a complex field of science that studies the interaction of culture and language. Linguoculturology deals with the study of cultural facts that are reinforced in language. Theoretical aspects of linguoculturology as part of linguistics can be applied to the study of national and foreign languages.

Euphemisms arise directly from the confluence of language and culture, as they are expressions used in accordance with the rules of etiquette, tact and courtesy. In accordance with the rules of etiquette and enlightenment, any object or event is indicated in secret, insulting expressions used in a simplified way and expressed in metaphors. It is this feature of euphemisms that connects them closely with culture. The article examines the close connection between euphemisms that form a special layer in language and linguoculturology. Turkish, Russian and Azerbaijani language sources were used in the research.
