Abstract

This paper provides insight into some of the research findings regarding two main aspects of women’s language, namely taboosand euphemisms. The main aim is to reveal topics that are considered as taboos, and the linguistic devices that women employ to expressthem. Exploring the motives that have given way to the creation of euphemisms we reached the conclusion that fear that people have ofsupernatural powers, superstitions and even the concern that we can cause offence to other human beings if we use a direct language,prevail among other reasons that account for their use. Furthermore, we will focus on the main areas that make a fertile ground forproducing many euphemisms. We will be introduced to the lexicon of disease, death, sex and tabooed body-parts. The various wayseuphemisms are conceptualized reflect directly the mindset and mentality of the community that uses them. Undoubtedly, euphemismsrepresent a wealth of vocabulary in oral culture. Thus, this topic is of a great interest for lexicographers, linguists and literaticians.

Abstract

Variations in language, besides other factors, seem to be direct and significant products of gender variable. Thedivision of society into men and women, both being different and complex, is reflected in various forms in language which is themost important means of communication among them. The article will focus on variations related to gender of speakers. It willreveal differences that are found in the language of women and men, and will link these differences with the social roles that areassigned to them in Albanian society (and other countries) as well as with the socio-cultural environment where they live. Hencewe will present gender-related pecularities that give insight into the position of women and their status. It appears that rules laidupon them have made their language more hesitant, indirect and euphemistic. However, their speech inevitably reveals theirexpressive and emotional nature especially while relating to their children.
