UNGDOMAR OCH SVORDOMAR : Ungdomars användning av och attityder till svordomarHietanen, Marko January 2009 (has links)
<p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och ge kunskap om hur ungdomars användning av och attityder till svordomar ser ut idag. Egna erfarenheter visar att det finns ett stort intresse, framförallt bland skolpersonal, inför detta forskningsområde. Frågeställningarna ser ut på följande sätt: Vilka attityder har ungdomar idag till olika svordomar? Det vill säga varför svär ungdomar och vilka ord uppfattar de som särskilt grova? Hur ser attityderna gentemot undervisning kring ämnet svordomar i skolan ut? Vilka svordomar använder ungdomar? Förekommer skillnader mellan pojkar och flickor inom dessa frågor?</p><p>Metoden är en datainsamling som sker genom en enkätundersökning där elever besvarar ett antal frågor, och där även elevernas kön och ålder tas i beaktning. Som komplement till enkätundersökningen genomförs även en intervju bland skolpersonal. Utöver detta tas även föräldrarnas påverkan i beaktning. Undersökningen är både av kvalitativ och kvantitativ art. Respondenterna bestod av 61 skolelever (senare skolår) och 5 skolpersonal.</p><p>Resultatet visar att <em>fan</em> och <em>jävlar</em> är de vanligast förekommande svordomarna och att ordet <em>hora</em> är den i särklass grövsta svordomen. Undersökningen visar även att ungdomar säger sig använda svordomar framförallt när de är arga eller att det sker rent spontant. Samtliga i skolpersonalen och 43 % av eleverna ansåg att undervisning kring ämnet svordomar borde förekomma i skolan. Jag fann även att det är klart vanligare att föräldrar svär än att de tillåter att deras barn gör det. Resultatet visar även tydliga skillnader mellan könen, exempelvis att flickor svär minde än pojkar i klassrummet.</p> / <p>The purpose of this essay is to investigate and provide knowledge about young people’s use of and attitudes toward curse words in today’s society. My own experience shows that there is a big interest, especially among school staff, in this field of research. The questions are following: What attitudes do young people have toward curse words in today’s society? That is to say, why do young people curse, and what words do they find especially offensive? What are the attitudes toward the education about curse words in school? What curse words do young people use?

I found that it is clearly more common for parents to curse themselves than let their children use curse words.

Don't mess with chicks in Burberry paddings : Semantic change in hip-hop lyrics and its impact on mainstream American EnglishExenberger, Margareta January 2008 (has links)
Some people might regard the language of hip-hop as being crude, sexist and inappropriate. Nevertheless, hip-hop culture can also be considered as one of the underground sources of word-formation and language change in mainstream English. Young people have always been a source of language variation and lexical innovation whether we like it or not. This essay is focusing on three words frequently used in hip-hop lyrics, namely pimp, queer and chick. The aim of the study is to analyse the semantic change on these words as they are used in hip-hop music and find out whether hip-hop culture has had an influence on the mainstream usage of these words. The method used was to study the usage and frequency of these words in hip-hop lyrics and analyse whether there was a similar use in a large diachronic newspaper corpus of American English. The material was predominately found in The Original Hip-hop Lyrics Archive (ohhla.com) and The TIME Magazine Corpus (corpus.byu.edu). The results of this study show examples of semantic change in both hip-hop lyrics and mainstream American English and it is concluded that hip-hop culture has an influence on mainstream language above all among the youth.

"Det beror ju inte på vart man är utan hur man känner" : En studie om ungdomars användande av svordomar och könsord i skolanElkert, Lena, Jarl, Kristina January 2008 (has links)
This essay is about young peoples’ use of swearwords and four-letter words. Through a questionnaire we have examined in what way 102 Swedish high school students use swearwords and four-letter words. We have also examined if there are any differences between girls and boys linguistic usage and what these differences may be. Our results show that almost all youths use swearwords and that a majority of them use four-letter words as well. The results also show that there are not any major differences between girls and boys. They use practically the same words in the same way. Our study also demonstrates that swearwords and four-letter words are most frequently used to enhance what someone is saying but that four-letter words are also used when to insult somebody. According to our re-sults the use of swearwords and four-letter words has become a part of young peoples’ daily vocabulary and these words are used no matter what they do or where they are. Of importance is who they are with. Our study point to the fact that girls and boys seem to use these words more frequently when they are together with friends and siblings than with their parents.

Vulgarismy v publicistických textech / Use of Vulgarisms in Journalism TextsBohatová, Hana January 2014 (has links)
The present master's thesis tackles the position of vulgarisms within the system of language as used in texts published in Czech and French weekly opinion magazines. The thesis takes a theoretic and empiric approach, the first part dealing with the definition of the term of vulgarism in Czech and French stylistics and the delimitation of its role in the style of journalistic texts. The second part of the thesis describes the practical approach of Czech and French weeklies to vulgarisms in their texts based on a survey among editing staff of the major publishing houses both in France and in the Czech Republic. The outcomes of the survey were compared to the analysis results conveyed on a corpus built out of texts published in Le Point and Respekt weeklies. Based on the contrastive analysis of vulgarisms used in Czech and French language corpus, following the critical criteria as outlined in the first part of the thesis, several recommendations are made about French-Czech translations of vulgarisms in journalistic texts.
