Cursing is to rotate through society. The very blue words have become very commonly pronounced publicly. “The language is just part of the full transformation into a more transverse lifestyle,” said Timothy Jay, an honorary professor of psychology at the Faculty of Free Arts in Massachusetts, North Adams.
Dr. Jay spent a profession in studying the use of profanity, from what he stimulated on the ways you meet, indicating the meaning and offended. Despite his official retirement, he continued to liberate studies on profanity and recently presented an expert opinion A continuous legal dispute in Michigan About the phrase “Let’s go Brandon” (a talisman expression used to ventilate former President Joseph R. Biden Junior) as “obscene”. (It should not, Dr. Jay.
Dr. Jai assumes that the increasing informal nature of the spoken word is partially derived from the way people communicate on social media. one TicketAnd, which was published by other researchers in 2014, found that the words were a curse on Twitter, now known as X, appeared in 7.7 percent of the publications, where the profanity represents about 1 in every 10 words on the platform. The study found that this is compared to the right rate from 0.5 to 0.7 percent in the spoken language.
If this data is bothering you, Dr. Jay has some ideas on how to request profanity. F*@ %-Free February, anyone?
The TIS interview was intensified and edited for clarity, and was cleaned from some colloquially confessed by Dr. Jay regularly at the golf course.
Why does social media contribute to the use of an informal language?
People are far away, so that they can be aggressive without any physical revenge. To a large extent, you are unknown, so there is no personal result. It is also part of a larger transformation into a more accidental lifestyle. What children wear to school these days would have been disgraceful in my day.
Is this a problem – not clothes, right?
Our culture is constantly evolving and will continue to develop. One place is a problem that is how women are being attacked online and increasingly harassing.
So you do not see this development positively or negatively?
The colloquial is manufactured to confront power and create a symbol that defines one as a member of the group. Victory misuse means that you are strange. The colloquial should change over time.
Illusive language coexists with the deficiency of clothes styles, behaviors in the workplace, music lyrics, television content, table etiquette, etc., which generally tends to a more relaxed state after World War II, especially noticeable in the 1960s.
You say that the words are curse that people have once avoided saying now regularly.
For years, I asked people to arrange words that were divided on a scale from one to 10 of which were the worst words. Five will be a “curse” or “hell”. This was the medium range. A hundred years ago, you could not use it on the radio; Now they are in the comic strips of the newspaper.
What is ranked 1?
“sugar.”
What about other alternatives to long curse words? Can I run a little before you?
Help yourself.
“Candy” – satisfactory?
Not mine.
I hear many people say “flipping” or “falling”. Which one do you prefer?
I love “Frickin” – I used, “Close Frekin!”
What do you like about it?
It is similar to … [expletive].
If something is similar to an audio, then this makes it satisfactory?
It is what he feels in your entire body-the reaction of the involuntary nervous system to hear someone says [expletive] Or say [expletive] yourself. It raises your pulse, heart rate, and the rate of breathing, all above the use of a non -identity word such as “calendar”. We recorded skin description tests that showed that taboo words produce more emotional reaction than Nontaboo. The word excites us in knowing that we will say this and continue to excite us even after speaking.
Do these words raise physical aggression?
My research collection has registered more than 10,000 people dividing in public places. We have never seen these uses turning into aggression or violence. Most right -wing, conversation and very harmful. At the same time, we are more sensitive to linguistic issues surrounding sexual harassment, gender discrimination, verbal abuse, and the language that threatens it than in the past.
What attracts us to a specific word?
It is personal. The individual’s psychological history with hearing and saying one word in childhood, then as a result of using the word again, brings feelings previously associated with the word.
It is social, and this means that the important words emotionally do not depend only on the psychological relationship of the speaker with the word, but also the value of the word and its equivalent within the speaker’s community.
It is my body.
Does this indicate that expressive may not be satisfied, and therefore we cannot curb our curse?
The key to breaking the habit is to realize that you are doing it and then try to circumvent it.
So you can change the pattern if you want it?
Yes. If you are considering how to work, what you have done is to activate the new word in your mind. Thus by activating “freakin” or “sugar”, you make it more prominent.
In other words, with practice, you can reduce the strength of the damn word and Enhance the temptation of expression.
Yes, but you have to be aware of both pieces and that one of them is of natural importance.
Recently, I was watching my grandson, a tempting ski, when he went out of the track. I just said, “Dang”. He is 18 years old, and I try not to swear around him. But I must think about it, especially when I play the golf game.
In terms of sitting in retirement, do you feel that the research is divided into honest hands?
I delivered a major speech to a group of international scientists at the right -wing meeting and cursing them in Cologne, Germany, in 2015, two years before I retired. I was 65 years old at the time and most speakers were in the thirties and forties. I realized that there is a new generation that continues to study the words of taboos in a leading way in the 1970s. It is time to step aside and allow them to get glory.
