Zu Funktionen von Euphemismen in verschiedenen Texten und Diskursen
On Functions of Euphemisms in Various Texts and Discourses

Summary/Abstract: Euphemisms and dysphemisms are linguistic means that are generally used to make something accordingly more beautiful, obscure it or devalue it. However, if one looks at different texts or even discourses, it can be seen that euphemistic and dysphemic expressions can be assigned specific functions and that this form of formulation is also based on different motivations. These are described in detail in the articles from the anthology presented here.
