    ?

    A second ago, he had a family portrait, but when he felt uncomfortable, this guy slipped away faster than anyone else.

    Meng Xianxiang didn't know why he suddenly became so sensitive just now. According to the past, when encountering such a situation, he would at most make a joke and let it go.

    Why did he run away this time?

    "grass!"

    Then the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

    All of them looked at Meng Xianxiang or his direction intently.

    ¡ª¡ª"Damn, shouldn't it be said?"

    Seeing that Chu Lihua, Qing Yunfei and others nodded, Meng Xianxiang's face became even uglier.  what is it today?

    Yao Livas, who is knowledgeable and talented, stepped forward again to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just a way to vent when people feel uncomfortable. Some bad emotions must be vented, so as not  It will hurt the body."

    Chu Lihua also agreed, "Yes, yes, I also agree with this point. Let bad emotions and pain flow, so that you will not become depressed and sick in your internal organs."

    Yaoliwas continued, "Actually, there are still people who have done special research on swear words and written a book."

    ¡ª¡ª"Really? This can also publish a book? Come on, share it with us."

    Chu Lihua applauded first.

    After the applause stopped, Yaolivas also collected his thoughts and said, "This topic is a bit off the table. However, if you think about it carefully, swearing is actually a language phenomenon that is particularly worth pondering.

    The strange thing about swearing is that it implies a set of contradictions.  You say it's okay?  Certainly not.  However, if you want to say that it is not good, it seems that it is not so absolute.

    For example, there is a New Zealand management consulting expert named Janet Holmes, who once surveyed those efficient teams all over the world.

    It turns out that many highly efficient teams have a characteristic that they love to swear.

    There are also many scientists who have found that whether it is on the factory floor, the backstage of a performance, or the team's lounge, appropriate swearing can deepen the relationship between people and promote collaboration.

    Let's see, whether swearing is good or not is really hard to say for a while.

    To borrow the words of a linguist named Geoffrey Hughes.  ¡®Foul words are cruel, but also for fun.  Obnoxious and ridiculous.  It's a mantra, and it's also much ado about nothing.  '

    Borrowing the words of Emma Byrne, the British female writer who studied this topic, swear words are just an introduction.  Follow it, and you will discover how our brains, thinking, and society work.  "

    Everyone's attention has been deeply attracted by Yao Livas. No matter what, as long as you study it in depth, you will be rewarded.

    ¡ª¡ª"First of all, its vitality is particularly strong. No matter how civilization evolves, how society progresses, and no matter how much public order and good customs despise it. It has not disappeared, and it is so firmly stuck to our language system.

    You can't forget it, and you can't get rid of it.  No matter how you deal with it.  For example, there is an American writer named James O'Connor who once founded an institution called the Foul Language Remediation Institute.

    ? Specializes in helping schools and companies rebuild language habits and remove swear words. The hourly service fee is as high as $1,500.

    Look, at this price, the rectification efforts should not be small, right?  But what about the result?  Everyone should talk and talk.  And humans seem to have an innate talent for swearing.

    For example, children don't need to be taught, they can speak by themselves.  For another example, when we come into contact with a foreign language, the first thing we learn is to say hello, followed by swear words.

    For example, after watching a Korean drama, if you are asked which line you remember, there is a high probability that you will blurt out a bad word.  This raises a question.  Why is the vitality of dirty words so strong?

    Second, the strange thing about swearing is that it implies a set of contradictions.  You say it's okay?  Certainly not.  However, if you want to say that it is not good, it seems that it is not so absolute.

    Just like I said just now, there is a New Zealand management consulting expert named Janet Holmes, who used to investigate those efficient teams all over the world.

    It turns out that many highly efficient teams have a characteristic that they love to swear.  For another example, there is an IT expert named Barbara Prester who once published a paper.

    The name is very strange, it is called "Let's take a piss: the contribution of jokes to the IT industry".  The main point of this paper is that swear words, as a means of communication and decompression, have largely boosted the development of the entire IT industry.

    Many other scientists have discovered that appropriate swearing, whether on a factory floor, backstage at a show, or in a team lounge,??It can deepen the relationship between people and promote cooperation.

    Now it can be seen that whether swearing is good or not is really hard to say for a while.  "

    When Yaoliwas stopped, everyone looked at him with blank faces.

    ¡ª¡ª"Actually, linguists, neuroscientists, and sociologists have been studying swear words for more than 150 years.

    However, because many people think that the topic of swearing is a bit dirty.  These studies have never entered the public eye.

    Until recent years, these studies have not attracted general attention.  And this book "Why We Swear" is not only the author's own observation, but to a large extent, it is also a summary of previous achievements.

    After talking for so long, why do we swear, and what good does swearing do to us?

    What exactly is swearing?  It is estimated that many people think that this is not a problem at all.  Swear words are so easy to distinguish, isn't it just those few words?  Linguists have also done statistics and found that the current swear words in the world are generally divided into three categories.

    ? Religion, sexuality, and excrement.  We will not give examples in detail.  In a few countries with a history of racial conflict, there is a fourth category of swear words called racial discrimination.  For example, in the United States, the word nigger is the apex of dirty words for black people.

    At first glance, this classification seems to be fine.  However, if we stand in a larger perspective, we will find that there is something wrong with it.

    For example, some swear words are not swear words in other countries.  Like excrement, in Japanese, there is no such dirty word.  There is a Japanese illustrator named Taro Gomi.

    He also has a famous quote called "Everyone poops", which is often quoted in Japan.  He also specially created a set of emoticons called Smiling Poop, which is also very popular in the local area.

    For another example, some words were swear words in history, but in modern times, they are not so harsh.  Like my Lord spilled blood, this sentence was a dirty word in Europe 150 years ago.

    For another example, blind your eyes, in Shakespeare's time, this sentence was extremely dirty.  There are also some words, which seem to be nothing in some countries, but they are taboo in other places.

    For example, it is said that in Germany, if you call someone a stupid cow, you will be fined 600 euros, and if you call someone a stupid pig, you will be fined more, 2,500 euros.  "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
