Note on Allan and Burridge: Cultures
and their languages have taboos, things that are, well, virtually
unspeakable by some people under some circumstances. In order
to examine the phenomenon, we have to actually encounter such
words. So hang tough. You aren't being encouraged to employ
(or refrain from employing, for that matter) such words and
concepts. So, just remember that this is a class for adults
and try not to get too squeamish. If you feel that will tax
your own belief system, making you uncomfortable, I'd suggest
you drop this course and take another.
