1. Lexicon, discourse and cognition: terminological delimitations in the conceptualizations of linguistic taboo

Abstract

This theoretical paper has two basic aims: 1) to make a terminological revision both of concepts such as taboo, interdiction, euphemism, dysphemism, euphemistic/dysphemistic substitute, euphemistic/dysphemistic use, generally incorrectly used in lexical research on the subject, as well as of others used in more recent works in the pragmatic-discursive and cognitive field (orthophemism, X-phemism, quasi-euphemism - quasi-dysphemism and, above all, word taboo and concept taboo or conceptual interdiction); and 2) to establish the evolution of terminological-conceptual delimitations carried out in the field of interdiction, from lexical and pragmatic-discursive perspectives to the new dimensions of the cognitivist paradigm.
