A káromkodáskultúra pragmatikai vizsgálata Végel László Neoplanta, avagy az Ígéret Földje című regényében
A Pragmatic Study of the Culture of Cursing in László Végel's Novel Neoplanta, avagy az Ígéret Földje

Summary/Abstract: According to the simplest definition, cursing means the use of a rough word, expression or phase. Today there is nearly no place, conversation, film in which a curse could not be heard regardless of the fact that it not always has a negative connotation. Although they do not imply an aesthetic experience, by their increasing occurrence we have to consider them a lingual phenomenon in our days. The paper analyses the cursing formulations in László Végel’s Neoplanta, avagy az Ígéret Földje [Neoplanta, or the Promised Land]. Within this, primarily the ones that the narrator, Lazo Pavletić, a Serbian cabman is using. It presents the etymology and semantics of cursing. The collected cursing corpus appears in the Hungarian novel in Serbian, consequently the study points out their Hungarian equivalent as well (if there is such).
