Uyển Ngữ Về Cái Chết Và Tình Dục Trong Thơ Tiếng Anh Và Tiếng Việt Nhìn Từ Góc Độ Văn Hoá​

Euphemism is a linguistic device to express emotions, ideas and transmit attitudes in a more neutral way. Besides, euphemism, as a universal phenomenon, is culturally specific. This study aims at investigating the use of euphemisms of death and sex in English and Vietnamese poems. Specifically, the study seeks to explore how death and sex euphemisms are used in poems and identify the similarities and differences in their use from a cultural perspective. The research employed the descriptive and contrastive method in analyzing the data and adopted a qualitative approach. The data analysis demonstrates that both English and Vietnamese euphemism is employed as face-keeping and taboo-avoiding function. However, in English death is more perceived as relief, peace, a sleep, a reunion or an end while in Vietnamese, death is perceived as a heroic loss or a natural force. Sex in English is often perceived as a war and function. Whereas, in Vietnamese, sex is often conceptualized as nature and companionship.
