CONCLUSION
In conclusion we can say that the definition of vulgarism (a more sophisticated name for a swearword) is not entirely unambiguous in English.
The English word vulgarism comes probably from the Latin vulgus, "ordinary people", especially in the pejorative meaning. The lexical meaning of this term determines vulgarism as a synonym of curse or obscenity, but from a linguistic point of view, the scope of this term extends to any case of nonstandard language use that has not necessarily have to be a term of abuse. Several researchers dealing with this theme have suggested the umbrella term “taboo words” for insulting and indecent words. Under this term we can include the terms as swearword, profanity, obscenity, vulgarity, slur and others. For the purpose of comparison we will use this group of taboo language within the English lexicon.
The gross / vulgar words and names - the reference and customary
vulgarisms in which the taboo component arises as a consequence of their content, and in particular the crossing of cultural conventions. Obscene words and names - systemic vulgarisms, where the form of the word defines the taboo element not taking into account the context of expression or its semantic properties.
The term vulgarism, as used to single out a definite group of words of non-standard English, is rather misleading. The ambiguity of the term apparently proceeds from the etymology of the word. These two submeanings are the foundation of what we here name vulgarisms. So vulgarisms are:
1) expletives and swear words which are of an abusive character, like ‘damn’, ‘bloody’, ‘to hell’, ‘goddam’ and, as some dictionaries state, used now as general exclamations;
2) obscene words. These are known as four-letter words the use of which is banned in any form of intercourse as being indecent Historians tell us that in Middle Ages and down into the 16th century they were accepted in oral speech and after Caxton even admitted to the printed page.
Swear words in the sphere of verbal expression have been given at least at marginal attention in the studies and analyses within the intercultural communication branch, but the phenomenon of taboo lexicon itself within the
interpreting theory and practice has not yet been adequately described and
subsequently processed in our country. At the same time, we aim to approach
swearwords as informally saturated cultural and linguistic components of
discourse from a linguistic and functional point of view, without a common
negative connotation that the very term “swearword" carries with it.
Swearwords with no (at least preliminary) anticipation of their occurrence undoubtedly represent a significant stress factor in simultaneous but also consecutive interpreting. We believe that by thoroughly examining the functional potential of swearwords in the source language we can ultimately streamline strategies for their transposition into the target communication without significant meaningful shifts.
The definition of vulgarism (a more sophisticated name for a swearword) is not entirely unambiguous in English.
The English word vulgarism comes probably from the Latin vulgus, "ordinary people", especially in the pejorative meaning. The lexical meaning of this term determines vulgarism as a synonym of curse or obscenity, but from a linguistic point of view, the scope of this term extends to any case of nonstandard language use that has not necessarily have to be a term of abuse. Several researchers dealing with this theme have suggested the umbrella term “taboo words” for insulting and indecent words.
Vulgarisms affect the whole process of interpreting bearing the added value in terms of the construction of the target text. From the point of view of the interpreter and the requirements on his short- and long-term memory, we can not omit the positive influence of vulgarisms in this regard. Vulgarisms, especially with their emotional and expressive charge in focus, have a provenly different way of influencing our verbal memory. In 1997, Lieury conducted a research on the influence of vulgarisms on verbal memory.
Words with the attribute of emotionality have been shown to be much easier and longer-lasting to remember than words notional. The taboo lexicon could therefore have the potential as a form of mnemonic device, especially in consecutive interpreting. Even if a vulgarism is not necessarily replaced with its equivalent, its verbal surroundings will definitely be remembered more strongly. From the point of view of long-term memory, the effect of vulgar words was up to four times higher in the aforementioned research.
All language taboos have been banished from the modern literature nowadays and no modern literary character can do without vulgarisms in his speech. Aiming at complete and natural description of modern life and modern characters a writer cannot disregard the facts of everyday language. Consequently all words irrespective of their rank and aesthetic value occur in all types of literary texts.
Lexical units that belong to the four-abovementioned heterogeneous subgroups of special colloquial layer may be used in publicistic texts and newspaper articles in order to describe a certain social milieu, different features of modern culture and various popular categories. Due to its bright stylistic colouring and expressiveness the special colloquial vocabulary is the powerful means of creating the image of literary personage, characterizing his educational and cultural level, way of thinking and speaking. That is why a literary device known as speech-characterization is so abundantly used in emotive prose.
The usage of special colloquial forms is the most conspicuous element of this literary device. Colloquialisms have long become the powerful source of humour, irony and satire.
Vulgarisms are coarse words with a strong emotive meaning, mostly derogatory, normally avoided in polite conversation. History of vulgarisms reflects the history of social ethics. So, in Shakespearean times people were much more linguistically frank and disphemistic in their communication than in the age of Enligtenment, or the Victorian era, famous for its prudish and reserved manners.
