Euphemism, as a common phenomenon in human language and society, has long been discussed and studied by experts and scholars. They have advanced various kinds of definitions and classifications about euphemisms. Generally speaking, the studies of eup
hemisms are confined to the rhetorical speech and restricted to the lexical level. It is considered as a literary technique for writers or speakers to give their expressions more elegantly. However, with the development of sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, and pragmatics and so on, the researches of euphemism have been extended to many different perspectives. All of the studies are quite valuable to the further studies on euphemisms, but not all of the issues have been settled. As for how euphemisms are practiced and understood in real communication, how the application of euphemisms helps to facilitate the communication in reality, there is still some room for the study.

2.1 The understanding of English euphemism
The word euphemism comes from the Greek word “euphemos” meaning “auspicious/good/fortune speech”, which in turn is derived from the Greek rooted word eu, “good/well”+pheme “speech/speaking”. The euphemism was originally a word or phrase used in place of a religious word or phrase that should not be spoken aloud. …………………………………….
2.2 The retrospect study of English euphemism
Euphemism, as a widely and frequently used figure of speech, has attracted people‟s attention for a long time. Numerous investigations have been conducted into it. Before the exploration of euphemism, reviews on the pervious studies on English euphemisms are provided here so as to clear the ground.

In China, since 1970s, with the introduction of the theory of the sociolinguistics, some scholars paid more attention to the special social functions of euphemism. The sociolinguist Chen Yuan (1983) investigated the historical and socio-psychological background of the generation of euphemism and revealed the social nature of it. Moreover, he analyzed the

一、课题来源:自选
二、主要依据 爱情是人类的各种感情体验中最普遍、最久远、最富神秘意味的情感,具有极为丰富的象征性涵 义。而按照认知语言学的观点,隐喻是人类的一种基本思维方式,是一种帮助人们更好、更清晰地了 解外部世界和内心世界的认知工具。没有隐喻,爱情这一抽象概念就得不到充分阐释,人们也不能充 分理解它。 隐喻这一概念受到学者们的关注已有 2000 多年的历史了。西方对隐喻的研究主要分为三个阶段: 从公元前 2000 多年的亚里士多德到 20 世纪 30 年代的理查兹,主要是从修辞学角度研究隐喻。从 20 世 纪 30 年代到 20 世纪 70 年代初 ,学术界的研究主要侧重于从逻辑、哲学以及语言学角度来分析隐喻的 语义表达;从 20 世纪 70
年代初至今则是对隐喻全方位、多学科的研究。人们对隐喻的认识突破了修辞 学的限制 ,将隐喻研究与哲学、逻辑学、社会学、心理学、符号学、认知语言学等结合起来。以莱柯 夫和约翰逊为代表的语言学家于 1980 年出版的《我们赖以生存的隐喻》,表明人们对隐喻的认知特征 开始全面研究,掀起了对隐喻研究的高潮。 国内的隐喻研究长期以来停留在修辞学界对相近修辞格的对比上。近10年来,国内的一些主要外 语刊物不断刊登介绍国外认知隐喻研究情况和重要论著的文章,引起了国内学者的注意。许多语言学 家都对隐喻学显露了浓厚的兴趣并进行了一些研究,如束定芳的《隐喻学研究》 ,胡壮麟的《认知隐喻 学》 。近几年,国内一些学者还就时间,空间,喜怒哀乐等情感的隐喻做了初步研究。尽管如此,我国 对于隐喻的研究整体来看还不够广泛,也不够深入,亟待进一步的发展。对中西隐喻对比研究都将会 丰富认知语言学的理论研究,进一步推动国内语言学的研究发展,并给中西文化差异的研究提供新的 方法和思路,促进跨文化交际的研究。
三、研究内容 本文拟在回顾前人相关研究成果基础上,从认知角度运用概念隐喻等理论,通过对中英流行歌曲 中的爱情隐喻进行对比分析,研究中西爱情隐喻概念系统的异同,进而探讨隐喻与文化模式之间的关 系以及东西方在情感认知方面的不同取向。 本文将主要回答以下三个研究问题: (1) (2) (3)
四、研究计划及预期成果 研究计划: 1. 2013-2014学年第一学期13-18周:精读论文资料,进行深入的文献研究,做好毕业论文研究初 步设计,完成文献综述的撰写。 2.2013-2014学年第二学期1-4周: 进行课题的初步研究,完成问卷调查和数据统计(或文本/语 料的初步分析) 。 3. 2013-2014学年第二学期第5-8周:完成论文初稿的写作。 4.2013-2014学年第二学期第9-12周:按导师的指导意见反复修改论文,完成修改稿,并于12周 周末定稿打印,将论文纸质版上交导师作最后审核。 预期成果:

Literature Review
(Arial 3 号加粗,居中,单倍行距,段前 24 磅,段后 18 磅)
As a popular rhetorical device, euphemism is widely employed in kinds of discourse and it is deeply rooted in people‟s social life. That is why Rawson (1981) affirms “Euphemisms are embedded so deeply in our language that few of us, even those who pride themselves on being plain-spoken, ever get through a day without using them” (p.3). The study of euphemisms is of great importance as it can ….. The research of euphemisms has a long history ……………..And there have accumulated a large literature. Many scholars have attempted to define its nature or addressed its characteristics, functions, etc. from different perspectives. This paper is to give a general overview of the previous studies.
1 The definition of euphemism
The word euphemism comes from Greek; the prefix “eu-“ means good and the stem “phemism” means speech; the whole word‟ s literal meaning is word of good omen. In the early 1580s, the British writer George Blunt first created the word euphemism and defined it as „a good or favorable interpretation of a bad word‟ (Shu, 1995:17). Concerning the definition of euphemisms, there are a lot of versions. In Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary (1973) the definition reads “substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant.” In The New Edition of the Oxford Concise Dictionary (1976) the definition reads “substitution of mild or vague or round-about expression for harsh or direct one; expression thus substituted.” ……………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………… The definitions above illustrate the general characteristic of euphemism---the use of a pleasant, polite, or harmless sounding words or expressions to mask harsh, rude, or
infamous truths. It reflects people‟s desire for better things.
2 Researches abroad
Euphemism appeals the attention of language scholars from long time ago. It is a kind of social rules, so people have to know and grasp it, and put it into daily practice. Meanwhile it is a language phenomenon, so the scholars have to study it as science, in order to help people understand it well.
2.1 Researches from sociolinguistic perspective
After the British writer George Blunt first created the word euphemism, the Americ
an linguist Menken (1936) in his book The American Language discussed the reasons for the generation and popularity of hundreds of English euphemism on the basis of American society and historical cultural backgrounds. In his Sociolinguistics (2nd edition), R. A. Hudson (2000) stresses that for showing power-politeness there are different „address‟ words (for example, sir, please), and the function of all the euphemisms is to protect the other person from being offended (for example, spend a penny, pass away). …………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………….
2.2 Researches from semantic perspective
In 1981, the British linguist Hugh Rawson published his A Dictionary of euphemisms and Other Doubletalk, which is a collective manifestation of the evolutions of years‟ research of euphemism done by both British and American linguists. In this dictionary, Rawson traced the history of euphemism‟s studies; he made a deep research on the definition, classification, characteristics and domains of euphemisms. The dictionary is considered as one of the most important works on the study of euphemism and it is of great value to the further studies. In 1983 American linguists J. Neaman and C. Silver published their book Kind Words, a Thesaurus of Euphemism. In the book the authors introduced the history of euphemism, the formation of euphemism, the motivations of euphemism, also collected a great many of examples of euphemism in nearly all the areas.
2.3 Researches from pragmatic perspective
The tradition of pragmatic study of euphemism has gradually got established. The
usage of euphemism in nature is saving face for both speakers and listeners and establishing good relationship between them. Allan and Burridge (1991) published a book Euphemism and Dysphemism, which is a valuable book of English euphemism from the pragmatic and psychological perspective. They affirm that euphemism is a protective shield against the anger or disapproval of natural or supernatural beings. ……………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………… ………… ………………………………
3 Researches in China
English as a foreign language in China boomed in the later 1970s and since then the researches on English attracted the attention of experts and scholars greatly. Euphemism is
one of the fields that they pay great attention to. Some of them study euphemism as a rhetorical device; others study euphemism on the basis of sociolinguistics or pragmatics.
3.1 Studies of euphemism from sociolinguistic perspective
Chen Yuan is the earliest scholar who begins to study euphemism. In his Sociolinguistics (1983), he studied euphemism in a special separate chapter. He investigated the deep historical and socio-psychological background of the generation of euphemism and revealed the nature of this social phenomenon; he analyzed the characteristics of its formation and usage by giving lots of examples of euphemism. This book is of great value for the researches of euphemisms for its all-around. ……………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
3.2 Studies of euphemism from pragmatic perspective
Xu Haiming (1996), from the perspective of pragmatics, discussed how to choose
and understand euphemisms in communication and the principles of using them. Liang Hongmei (2000) analyzed euphemism with the pragmatics theories of Cooperative principle and Politeness principle, showing the relationship between euphemism and pragmatics: though it violates the Cooperative principle, euphemism basically observes the Politeness principle, indirect act theory and face-saving theory (Bi, 2003) …………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………
3.3 Other influential studies about euphemism
Shu Dingfang (1989) extended the scope of euphemism by dividing them into euphemism in narrow sense and euphemism in broad sense. In 1995, Shu Dingfang and Xu Jinyuan developed the concept of euphemism in narrow sense and euphemism in broad sense. They defined euphemism in narrow sense as words or phrases established by popular usage. And euphemisms expressed through phonetic techniques, grammatical techniques or textual techniques in language system are called euphemism in broad sense. Mao Xingeng (2001) and Lixinghua (2000) explored euphemism from an aesthetical linguistic perspective and they thought the reason why euphemism can reach so excellent and popular effect in the communication lies in that euphemism can inspire the sense of beauty in the mind of speech receiver, also can show the beauty and elegance of the speaker (Huang, 2004). ………………………………
……………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………… …………
4 Conclusion
In a word, the research of euphemism both in abroad and home has made great progress. And with the introduction of some original foreign linguistic books, the domestic research scope of euphemism will become deeper and broader. Among the several trends of euphemism study, the investigation from pragmatic perspective has
attracted more and more researchers, and appears to be a most prospecting one. The present study is to explore the constitutional principles and formative methods of euphemism following the direction of pragmatic view. The present author wishes it could be helpful to the learners of euphemism.
