Description

Explore the complex relationship between mind and language in this academic study from Bloomsbury. Sex in Language examines how metaphor serves as a bridge to discuss delicate and sensitive topics within digital spaces. By focusing on internet forums, this book provides a modern look at how people navigate the unspeakable through specific linguistic tools. This volume uses a cognitive-linguistic and relevance-theoretic approach to analyze the way sexual metaphors function in social and communicative contexts. It investigates the antithetical mechanisms of verbal mitigation and offense, specifically looking at the roles of euphemism and dysphemism. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how these linguistic strategies work together to shape communication regarding sex in contemporary online environments.
