LINGUO-CULTURAL DETERMINANTS AND NATIONAL VALUE SYSTEMS INFLUENCING EUPHEMISTIC SUBSTITUTION

Abstract

This article examines the intricate relationship between linguo-cultural determinants and national value systems in shaping euphemistic substitution across different linguistic communities. The study demonstrates how cultural taboos and social hierarchies and religious beliefs and collective mentalities shape the development and use of euphemistic expressions through its analysis of theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence from established research.
